STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Greenland
============================================================
Greenland - Consular Information Sheet
October 3, 1995
Country Description: Greenland is a self-governing territory of
Denmark. Greenland has its own legislature and two representatives
in the Danish Parliament. Among Greenlanders, there is some
sentiment for independence. Greenland has a poor economy based on
fishing but is experiencing an upswing in ecotourism.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. A tourist or business
visa is not required for stays 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 and Prevention's hotline for
international travelers 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.

Greenland. For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S.
Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark; Dag Hammarskjolds Alle 24, telephone
