I've had friends who traveled ab...Hello Hector! I've had friends who traveled abroad and had their passports stolen from cars or their hotel rooms. They always manage to get home safe and with a story to tell. So it happens and there are safeguards in place to help you get home. Now, if you lose your passport while in another country, the first thing you should do is contact your embassy or consulate in the region you are staying. Your IVHE coordinators can help assist you in locating the closest embassy. The folks at the embassy will help you obtain an emergency passport to help you get back to your country (they may also have information posted on their website). If you are from the United States, for example, it will take about 24 hours to obtain an emergency passport. So worst case, you will miss your flight home. You will have to likely pay a fee for that emergency passport (the passport is only valid for a year or so depending on your country). Once you arrive home, be sure to cancel the passport that was lost (or stolen) immediately to protect yourself from potential identity theft. <br /><br />While waiting for an emergency passport, you will need to notify your airline of the situation. Trust me, they've seen it before and should work with you on rescheduling your flights. <br /><br />Before you leave on any international trip, it is a good idea to make some photo copies of your passport to take with you. I also will take a photo of my passport image using my phone so that I have it in case I lose my actual passport. Photo copies will NOT replace the actual passport, nor will be accepted at borders or the airport. However, they will help expedite the process of obtaining an emergency passport. <br /><br />I hope this answers your questions. :) <br /><br />Safe travels,<br /><br />Carla Carla Roberts Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408776799088655485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682852616874551482.post-20437496814236977222016-06-13T12:23:20.064+01:002016-06-13T12:23:20.064+01:00Great tips... but, what about missing my passport ...Great tips... but, what about missing my passport when "I'm placed" in my vacation house... in another country? <br />What are the steps I must take in order to return home safe and health without passport?<br />ThanksHéctorhttp://www.wuking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682852616874551482.post-4599580702267664372016-06-13T12:14:07.603+01:002016-06-13T12:14:07.603+01:00I've got good tips for visiting Rome for disab...I've got good tips for visiting Rome for disabled people.Wukinghttp://www.apartamentosenroma.org/a89-roma-silla-de-ruedas.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682852616874551482.post-23528300019562193972016-06-09T01:33:05.988+01:002016-06-09T01:33:05.988+01:00There have been some great blog entries recently a...There have been some great blog entries recently about travel and children--great ideas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756471152815647794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682852616874551482.post-18591963099982367322016-06-09T01:32:28.244+01:002016-06-09T01:32:28.244+01:00There have been some great blog entries recently a...There have been some great blog entries recently about travel and children--great ideas!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756471152815647794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682852616874551482.post-72734790508374797822016-06-02T13:14:20.816+01:002016-06-02T13:14:20.816+01:00Your bookish nature and travel experience has serv...Your bookish nature and travel experience has served you well, Emma.
