When things go wrong
What if something goes badly wrong while you’re abroad? What if you’re the victim of a crime, or fall ill? What if someone close to you dies abroad, or suffers other serious misfortune? In this section we explain how we can help.
If you are a victim of a crime
If you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of a crime of any kind overseas, we may be able to help you.
Help if someone dies
The death of a relative or friend is always distressing. But if it happens abroad the distress can be made worse by practical problems. Read how we can help.
Rape and sexual assault
Sexual assault is a very traumatic experience whenever and wherever it happens, but the trauma can be made more difficult to deal with when it happens abroad.
Child abduction
International parental child abduction is a human rights issue and one that we take very seriously. We appreciate the distress that child abduction and the difficulties obtaining access can cause to both the child and left-behind parent.
Missing persons
When a relative or friend goes missing abroad it can be very distressing and you feel at a loss as to what to do about it.
If you have no money
British Consulates do not have a loaning facility. If you need funds, you will need to ask a relative, friend or UK employer etc to arrange a money transfer to a bank in Greece.
