Monaco - Consular Information Sheet
April 29, 1993
Country Description: Monaco is a constitutional monarchy and a highly
developed European nation. Tourist facilities are widely available.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. A visa is not required for
tourist visits of up to three months. For further information on entry
requirements for Monaco, travelers can contact the Embassy of France at 4101
Reservoir Road N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007, or the nearest Honorary
Consulate of Monaco in Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, San
Francisco, or San Juan.
Medical Facilities: Medical care is available. U.S. medical insurance is
not always valid outside the United States. Travelers have found that in
some cases, supplemental medical insurance with specific overseas coverage
has proved to be useful. Further information on health matters can be
obtained from the Centers for Disease Control's hotline for international
travelers at (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: Monaco has a low crime rate. During the summer tourist
season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and theft from vehicles
with foreign, out-of-town, or rental licenses can occur. Popular tourist
attractions such as museums, monuments, restaurants, hotels, beaches, and on
trains and subways are often areas where criminals operate.
The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately
to the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. U.S.
citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet "A Safe Trip
Abroad" for ways to promote a more trouble-free journey. The pamphlet is
available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Drug Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in
which they are traveling. In Monaco, the penalties for possession, use, and
dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail
sentences and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register with the U.S. Consulate General in
Marseille, France or the U.S. Consular Agent in Nice, France can obtain
updated information on travel and security in Monaco.
U.S. Representation: There is no U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Monaco. For
assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S. Consulate General in
Marseille, France, tel: (33) 91-54-92-00, FAX (33) 91-55-09-47, or the U.S.
Consular Agent in Nice, France, tel: (33) 93-88-89-55, fax (33) 93-87-07-38.
No. 93-093
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 7, 1992, to add
specific information on crime in Monaco and to add information on reporting
the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
