Andorra - Consular Information Sheet
April 26, 1994
Country Description: Andorra is a highly developed stable democracy with a
modern economy. Tourist facilities are widely available.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. Visas are not required for a
tourist or business stay of up to three months. For further information,
travelers can contact either the Embassy of Spain or the Embassy of France
or the nearest French or Spanish consulate in Boston, Chicago, Detroit
(France only), Honolulu (France only), Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New
Orleans, New York, or San Juan. The Spanish Embassy is located at 2375
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009, tel. (202) 728-2330. The
French Embassy is at 4101 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20007, tel
(202) 944-6000.
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. Information on specific health matters is
available through the Centers for Disease Control's international travelers
hotline at (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: Andorra has a low crime rate. However, during the
summer tourist season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and theft
from vehicles can occur. 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. Penalties for possession, use, or dealing in
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences
and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register at the U.S. Consulate General in
Barcelona, Spain can obtain updated information on travel and security
within Andorra.
Embassy Location: Andorra is a sovereign nation but, has no U.S. embassy or
consulate. For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S. Consulate
General in Barcelona, Spain at Paseo Reina Elisenda 23-25, telephone (34-3)
280-2227.
No. 94-061
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated April 29, 1993, to
reflect the fact that Andorra is now a sovereign state.
