Consulates and embassies, located on most of the major Caribbean islands, can assist you with lost or stolen passports and emergencies. Consulates also provide a list of local doctors, dentists, and medical specialists. While not every island has an embassy or consulate for every country, some of the major offices service multiple islands.
If you are involved in an emergency, go to the nearest embassy or consular office for your native country and register as a citizen in the region. Although you may not have needed your passport to get onto a particular island, it is good idea to bring it along for identification at the embassy.
U.S. travelers may contact the U.S. Consular Representative - Mrs. Gail Duquesney at Adventure Travel, Cayman Islands. She can be reached at 345-945-1511. Other travelers may want to investigate further to find out who to contact for their particular country.
If you are injured or become seriously ill, a consul will help you find medical assistance and, at your request, inform your family or friends. It is unlikely you'll receive government financial assistance for an emergency trip back home; pre-purchased travel insurance will, however, cover such expenses. Travel insurance is a wise provision for an unforeseen cancellation or incidental medical expenses. Purchase travel insurance direct or through your travel agent rather than a tour operator. Most travel to the Cayman Islands is without incident.
Travelers should consider embassies and consulates to be a great helping hand for travelers in need in the Cayman Islands.
