Consular protection for EU citizens in Japan
Consular protection is the help an EU Member State can provide to its citizens in case they need assistance abroad. Typically, consular protection can include cases such as:
- A need for emergency travel documents;
- A serious accident or serious illness;
- Relief and repatriation in case of an emergency;
- Being a victim of crime;
- Arrest or detention;
- Death.
In Japan all EU Member States have a resident Embassy, Consulate or Honorary Consul that may assist you.
