What should I do if I lose my passport when I study in the UK and travel to the Netherlands?

Step 1: You must report the loss to the local police station and make a bill. Reminder: Generally, you can get the police certificate on the same day.

If you confirm that your passport is lost, you should report it to the local police station or police station as soon as possible. In many tourist destination countries, this is a very important item in the daily process of the police station or immigration bureau, and the police station certificate can usually be obtained on the same day.

Tip: It is very important to report the loss to the police station. The passport loss certificate issued by the local police is one of the necessary materials to apply for a travel permit.

Step 2: reissue your passport or travel permit (it takes 4 working days to apply for a travel permit locally, and it takes only 2 working days to expedite it, which is faster)

Reminder: a travel permit is not the same as a passport. After losing your passport, tourists can go to the embassy or consulate of the host country to reissue their passports or travel permits before returning to China. To handle the relevant documents, travelers need to show the lost passport certificate, passport copy and other documents issued by the local police.

Method 1 of losing your passport for studying in the UK: reissue your passport locally. The issuing time is 15 working days from the date of accepting the application, and the waiting time is longer. When returning to China to reissue passports, tourists can go back to the entry-exit permit center where their registered permanent residence is located, and provide proof from the local police station and the relevant proof provided by the travel agency when the documents are lost, or publish the information of the lost notice in the designated newspaper according to the regulations of relevant departments, and choose one of the three materials.

Among them, police station's proof is undoubtedly the easiest way. Materials to be carried: travel permit and its photocopy (photo page, entry stamp page), household registration book and its photocopy, ID card and its photocopy, original and photocopy of foreign alarm records, translation by a translation company recognized by the entry-exit administration, and a 2-inch photo.

Method 2 of losing your passport to study in the UK: It takes 4 working days to apply for a travel permit locally, and it only takes 2 working days to expedite it, which is faster. A travel permit is a blueprint of the same size as a passport, and it is a blank visa page except personal information. In principle, a blank travel permit can only be used for returning to China, and it must be used together with a copy of the passport and a certificate of loss of the passport issued by the police in the host country. Some countries can't go out of customs after getting a travel permit, and they have to go to the immigration office to reissue their entry visas. There is also a layer of customs between Hong Kong and the mainland, so tourists with temporary documents can't enter Hong Kong. It's best for travelers to fly directly back to China from the country where they reported the loss.
