STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Grenada
============================================================
Grenada - Consular Information Sheet
 October 18, 1995

Country Description:  Grenada is a developing island nation.
Tourism facilities vary, according to price and area.

Entry Requirements:  Most U.S. citizens enter Grenada using their
U.S. passports.  However, U.S. citizens born in the U.S. may also
enter with a birth certificate and photo identification.  A visa is
not required for a stay of up to three months.  There is an airport
departure charge of $14 (Eastern Caribbean $35 ) per person.  For
additional information concerning entry requirements, the traveler
may contact the Embassy of Grenada, 1701 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20009, telephone [phone].

Medical Facilities:  Medical care is limited.  Doctors and
hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services.
U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the United
States.  In some instances, supplemental medical insurance with
specific overseas coverage has proved useful.  For additional health
information, travelers can contact the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention's international travelers hotline at [phone]
or the CDC fax information service at [phone].

Crime Information:  Street crime occurs.  Tourists have been
victims of armed robbery in isolated areas.  Visitors may wish to
consult with local authorities, their hotels and/or the U.S. Embassy
for current information.  Valuables left unattended on beaches are
subject to theft.  The loss or theft of a U.S. passport overseas
should be reported to the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy
or consulate.  A lost or stolen birth certificate and/or driver's
license generally cannot be replaced outside the United States.
U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet, "A
Safe Trip Abroad," which provides useful information on guarding
valuables and protecting personal security while traveling abroad.
Both this pamphlet and "Tips for Travelers to the Caribbean" are
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.  Criminal penalties for
possession, use, dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted
offenders can expect lengthy jail sentences and fines.

Aviation Oversight:  In June 1992, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration assessed Grenada's civil aviation authority as in
compliance with international aviation safety oversight standards
for Organization of Eastern Caribbean States carriers operating to
and from the U.S.  However, during its assessment, the FAA noted
that the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States' operations to
destinations other than the U.S. are not provided a similar level of
safety oversight.  For further information, travelers may contact
the Department of Transportation at 1 [phone].

Embassy Location/Registration:  U.S. citizens may register with the
Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy, located at Point Salines.  The
mailing address is P.O. Box 54, St. George's, Grenada; telephone
(809) 44-1173.  U.S. citizens may obtain from the U.S. Embassy
updated information on travel and security in Grenada.
