<p> Customs: Visas are not required of U.S. citizens visiting
less than 3 months. Persons planning to study or work while in
Sweden, however, must obtain a residence permit before
entering. Swedish consulates in the U.S. can answer questions
regarding residence and work permits or special concerns such
as the importation of pets.
</p>
<p> Health: Public health standards are high. Tapwater is
potable, and dairy products pure. No special precautions are
required.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Telecommunications, telephone, and
telegraph service is good. Sweden is six standard time zones
ahead of eastern standard time.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Major airlines serve Stockholm and Goteborg
with connections to other Swedish cities. American Airlines,
TWA, and Pan American are American airlines serving Stockholm.
The easiest auto route from the continent is via Denmark. Valid
U.S. drivers licenses are acceptable; the International Green
insurance card is recommended. Sleeper trains to the continent
transit Copenhagen. Buses, trains, subways, and taxis operate
within the cities. A comprehensive travel guide is Travel,
Study and Research in Sweden, available by writing to the
American-Scandinavian Foundation, 127E. 73d St., New York, NY
