EU citizens' rights to consular assistance outside the EU: How to get assistance and EU rules on consular protection
As an EU citizen, you are entitled to seek help from the embassy or consulate of any other EU country if you find yourself in a situation where you need advice or assistance outside the EU, with no embassy or consulate from your own country to help you (you are "unrepresented").
Unrepresented EU citizens are entitled to receive consular protection under the same conditions as the nationals of that MS country. This is a right set out in Articles 20(2)c and 23 of the EU Treaty and Article 46 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The EU is working to further improve consular protection for EU citizens.
