PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Consular protection for EU citizens in Nepal
Are you an EU citizen in Nepal?
Learn more about your right to consular protection and how you can benefit from it in Nepal.
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 Nepal, Finland, France and Germany have a resident Embassy, while 24 EU Member States do not and are represented by honorary consuls.
You are an EU citizen in need of consular protection in Nepal?
You can contact your resident Embassy or Honorary Consul able to provide consular protection.
Indeed, any EU citizen abroad whose own Member State has no local representation is entitled to receive consular protection from the diplomatic or consular authorities of any other EU Member State. In that case, EU citizens are entitled to benefit from consular protection under the same conditions as the nationals of that other EU Member State.
You can find contact details of the resident EU Member States Embassies and Honorary Consuls who can provide consular protection in the list below.
Please note that the EU Delegation Nepal cannot provide direct consular assistance.
As an EU citizen, you can take simple steps to make consular protection more effective, for example:
- Following the travel advice issued by your country’s Foreign Ministry.
- When abroad, registering with your name through dedicated platforms or your embassy, if applicable.
- Other tips include keeping an electronic copy of your travel documents, subscribing to a travel insurance (including rescue and repatriation) or saving crisis contact details.
For more information on consular protection, see the dedicated pages on the websites of the EEAS, the European Commission and the Council of the EU.
