Losing your passport while studying abroad requires immediate action to avoid legal and travel complications. First, report the loss to local police and obtain a report, as this is often required for replacement. Contact your country’s nearest embassy or consulate to apply for an emergency travel document or replacement passport. Provide proof of identity, such as a photocopy of the lost passport or other ID.
Notify your university’s international office for guidance and support. Keep digital copies of important documents to expedite the process. Avoid delays, as replacing a passport can take weeks, potentially disrupting travel plans or visa compliance.
