Occasionally, visitors to Cura�ao and other destinations throughout the world encounter trouble during their travels. Whether travelers fall victim to a crime or are thrown in the midst of a natural disaster or civil unrest, their local embassy or consulate can provide assistance.
Foreign travelers visiting Cura�ao may need to enlist the assistance of representatives from their home country in times of need or trouble. Local embassies and consulates can provide information and assistance to travelers in securing financial, legal, medical, or transportation needs.
Travelers from the United States should first consult the Bureau of Consular Affairs' tips for safe travel while abroad (http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1747.html) for helpful travel information and advice. Travelers can also register their international trip (https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/home.asp) with the State Department. This registration allows the State Department to compile a database of American travelers in any given region in the event of a natural disaster or civil unrest.
Travelers who are victims of crime in Cura�ao should immediately contact local law enforcement authorities along with their local embassy or consulate. Consular representatives can assist travelers who are victims of crime in securing legal, financial, or medical help.
