Here’s a run-down of the kinds of services consulates usually do and don’t provide to their countrymen and women. Consulates in Munich will usually do the following: ▪ Issue replacement passports. ▪ Provide support if you are arrested (such as organising a lawyer). ▪ Try to contact you if they’re told you’re being held by police. ▪ Contact friends and family back for you if you’re in trouble. ▪ Take special action in the case of natural disasters, civil disturbances or terrorism. ▪ Give information on dealing with local authorities and transferring money. ▪ Help if you’re a victim of crime or are in hospital. They usually cannot: ▪ Get you out of jail or interfere with the local criminal or civil court proceedings. ▪ Get you preferential treatment in hospital or prison. ▪ Pay any bills for you or give you money (although some will lend you some cash in exceptional circumstances). ▪ Make arrangements for work, accommodation or business.
