Greenland - Consular Information Sheet
April 18, 1994
Country Description: Greenland is a highly developed stable democracy with a
subsistence economy. It is a self-governing territory of Denmark.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. A tourist or business visa is
not required for stays of up to three months. For further information
concerning entry requirements for Greenland, travelers can contact the Royal
Danish Embassy at 3200 Whitehaven Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, tel
(202) 234-4300, or the nearest Danish Consulate General in Chicago, Los
Angeles, or New York.
Medical Information: Medical facilities are 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: Greenland has a low crime rate. The loss or theft abroad
of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to 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 trip. 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, and dealing in
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences
and fines.
U.S. Representation: There is no U.S. embassy or consulate in Greenland.
For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen,
Denmark located at Dag Hammarskjolds Alle 24, telephone (45) 31-42-31-44.
No. 94-047
