Monaco - Consular Information Sheet
May 19, 1994
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 nearest Honorary
Consulate of Monaco in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New Orleans,
New York, Palm Beach, Florida, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Juan, or
Washington, D.C. Travelers can also contact the Embassy of France at 4101
Reservoir Road, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007.
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 international travelers
hotline at (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: Crime in Monaco is rare. Petty crimes, however, such as
pickpocketing or theft of unattended baggage have been known to occur,
especially near the train station and tourist sites. 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. 94-082
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated April 29, 1993 to add new
information on the incidence of crime in Monaco and locations of honorary
consuls in the U.S. who can assist with entry information.
