If you lose your student visa or ID while studying abroad, act immediately to mitigate risks. First, report the loss to local authorities and obtain a police report—this document is often required for replacements. Next, contact your country’s embassy or consulate for assistance with temporary travel documents if needed.
Notify your educational institution’s international student office; they can guide you through visa reapplication processes and provide support. Check your host country’s immigration website for specific replacement procedures. Keep copies of important documents digitally to expedite recovery. Always carry a photocopy of your visa/ID separately from the originals to prevent future issues.
