| Of
all the things that go wrong during your trip is the loss of your
Visa or Passport. It is not so much the loss and inconvenience
caused, but the fear it may be used by another person for fraudulent
purposes. Then one has to explain to the authorities, and ensure
them, that your paperwork was not deliberately 'mislaid'.
Quick and easy access
to your embassy or consulate is crucial. The sooner lost paperwork
is reported, the more quickly your problems can be solved.
Then there is the
issue of legal disputes. It may not be your fault that you find
yourself in a delicate situation which is not of your making. Even
being an innocent witness to a crime can cause you difficulties.
In all events
involving such issues, and more, the ability to find your nearest
government representative can be crucial. This we shall help you
with by locating all the sources you are likely to need.
