Wherever you travel it is always worthwhile making a note of where your local embassy is. Your embassy is your connection to your home country while on holiday and are there to assist if you lose your passport or are in trouble. You will normally find your embassy in the capital city of a country, though other major cities might have consulates or consulate offices.
The first thing you should do if anything goes wrong is to contact your relatives and friends at home. They can then take appropriate action within your home country. The same advice should be taken if a natural disaster occurs during your visit to a foreign country.
In most cases people only need advice, but in cases of real difficulty such as death abroad, serious accidents and illnesses, arrests and detentions, or those at risk of physical harm, the Consul will take action.
The Consul will do everything possible to help citizens who have been arrested or detained overseas. The Consul cannot get you out of jail or give you money. But the Consul will take action if your rights have been denied or abused.
