Lost Slovak passport in Greece

What to do

1. Report it at the nearest police station or call the Tourist Police on 1571. Ask for the written police report — your embassy will need it.
2. Contact your embassy or consulate (below) for an emergency travel document. Usually needed: the police report, passport photos, proof of identity and proof of onward travel.
3. Found later? A found passport is normally handed to the police. Tell them and your embassy you reported it lost — a passport reported lost is usually cancelled.

EU citizens whose country has no embassy or consulate in a non-EU country can get an EU Emergency Travel Document from any other EU member state's embassy there, for a single journey home, valid for no more than 15 calendar days except in exceptional circumstances

Tips

• Report the loss to the local police and ask for a written confirmation
• A police report that is not in Slovak or Czech needs a certified translation into Slovak
• A photocopy of your passport data page speeds up the process
• After you return, report the loss to the authority that issued the passport
• A photo or copy of your old passport, and any other photo ID, makes the embassy step much faster.
• Tell your airline and hotel. An emergency document is usually valid for one trip home. Check before you book extra stops.
• If your wallet went too, block your cards first, then sort out the passport.
