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. For travelers who are imprisoned in Cura�ao, their local consular representative can provide references for legal help. Representatives can also monitor and report a traveler's conditions to contacts in their home country.
Cura�ao is generally safe and outside of the Atlantic hurricane path. But should civil unrest or a natural disaster occur, local embassy or consular representatives can provide assistance to travelers caught in these circumstances.
The following is a list of foreign embassies and consulates that are stationed in Cura�ao, followed by a list of embassies of The Netherlands throughout the world. Addresses and phone numbers are subject to change, so travelers should verify contact information with their local embassy or consulate. Embassies and Consulates in Cura�ao:
