Overseas Singaporeans in distress can seek consular assistance during and after regular office hours. However, please note that the nearest Singapore Mission at your destination may not necessarily be accredited to the country you are in. If there is no Singapore Mission nearby, you may wish to call the MFA Duty Officer in Singapore at (65) 6379-8800.
If in doubt, you can also contact us and we will assist you in contacting the authorities. |
