| *The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. This includes United States citizens! In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. For additional information, go to http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html. |

Currency
As Guadeloupe is a territory of France, Guadeloupe uses the Eureo.
Currency Exchange - Get your currency needs managed in advance! Many airports, railroad stations, bus depots, and other points of entry have no currency exchange. When currency exchange is available in airports, lines can be long and rates can be "sky high". These long waits and usurious fees can be a nightmare. Order in advance from All Foreign Currency right online. It's fast, easy, and you save time and money! The can also provide you with Travelers' checks, bank drafts, and transfers. U.S. dollars are not accepted everywhere and rates can be atrocious!
Electricity
Guadeloupe uses the 220-volt electrical system. Therefore, you will need to bring adapters
and converters if you need them.
Taxis are available at the airport, and can provide transportation to your final island destination. Taxis are government regulated, but this sometimes means little as the meter is frequently “broken.” It is best to to agree on a fare and currency before taking a ride. Service across the island may cost as much as $40(USD), but keep in mind that the local currency is the Euro.
