- In the past, when I worked at a travel agency, I experienced various emergency situations such as customers losing their passports and travel disruptions due to heavy snow, but I was able to solve the problems with the help of the local embassy and consulate.
- In particular, the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Fukuoka provides detailed information such as emergency contact information, how to respond to accidents, examples of lost passport reports, and information on major hospitals.
- It is a good idea to check the embassy or consulate contact information in advance in case of sudden emergencies while traveling abroad.
CASE 1. 5 high school seniors lost their passports.
Way back when I worked at a travel agency!
I sold and responded to air tickets for 5 high school seniors who had just finished the College Scholastic Ability Test.
I received consent from their parents~ and answered their questions~ and I thought they were off on their trip because I didn’t hear from them on the day of departure~ but then I received a call the day before they were scheduled to return.
They said they had lost their passports... And they said they had all lost them together in the same bag..
CASE 2. An unexpected blizzard in March.
In March, not even in winterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ, a blizzard came and closed the expressway.. JR was also shut down..
Customers in Yufuin and Beppu were unable to get out to Fukuoka and couldn’t make it to the airport.
CASE 3. A story I saw recently on a Japanese travel cafe.
Someone posted that they lost their passport and didn’t know what to do, and a lot of the experts on that cafeㅋㅋㅋ
helped solve the problem with their collective intelligence&storm of commentsㅋㅋ
(I respect those experts!!)
All of CASE 1-3 were resolved with the help of the embassy&consulate!
In situations like this where you suddenly face a crisis overseas (lost passport, traffic accident, crime victimization, natural disaster, etc.)
who should you contact? Who can best resolve the situation? You can contact the local embassy or consulate!
If you go to the link above, you can check the website of the embassy or consulate for each country.
My planned trip was a trip to Kyushu, so I went to the website of the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Fukuoka.
You can immediately check the emergency contact information!
If you go to News>Announcements, you can check the response guidelines for incidents and accidents, and get accurate information.
I was surprised by how friendly they were, they even included a detailed guide to the main hospitals in the area in the example of a lost passport report.
(Not like the fast and rude 대한민국, such delicate attention..🧡)
Those who travel frequently, orI have to be responsible for someone! Those who do (traveling with parents, traveling with children, etc.)
It might be a good idea to give it a look before you travel!
