If you’re in Russia and you need advice which is not covered by reading our travel advice then you can contact us online. If you’re in Russia and you need urgent help (for example, you’ve been attacked, arrested or someone has died), call +7 495 956 7200. Our staff are working remotely as our building is closed. When calling, you may therefore hear a message stating that our offices are closed. However, we are available 24/7. Please stay on the line and select the option for ‘calling about an emergency involving a British National’ to speak to an officer.
You can apply for an emergency travel document if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen, damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport in time to travel. Apply online for an emergency travel document If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf. If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport in time to travel. If you arrived in Russia on a Russian visa, its replacement must be obtained via visa sponsor in order to leave Russia. If you apply for an ETD because your passport has been lost or stolen, you will be expected to produce a Police report when applying for an exit visa from Russian authorities.
If you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen If you’re not a British citizen but think you may be eligible, contact us to apply for an emergency travel document.
