๐๏ธ Embassy & Consulates
Find your embassy in Korea and know what to do if you lose your passport, are detained, hurt or need to get home.
Lost your passport? Been arrested or detained? Had a serious accident? Need to contact your family or return home urgently? Your countryโs embassy or consulate may be able to help.
Call 112 or 119 first when someone is in danger or hurt. An embassy is not an emergency rescue service.
