"Every citizen of the Union shall, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he is a national is not represented, be entitled to protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State, on the same conditions as the nationals of that State."
This protection derives from the Treaties and is governed by a Decision of the Governments of the Member States of the European Union adopted on 19 December 1995.

You may apply for the following types of consular protection:

- assistance in the event of death;

- assistance in the event of arrest or detention;

- assistance to victims of violent crime;

- emergency assistance and repatriation;

- issue of a replacement EU travel document.

Furthermore, some services cannot be provided, such as:

• payment of your bills (e.g. lawyer, hospital, hotel, restaurant, etc.);
• payment for or booking of travel tickets;
