When things go wrong

What if something goes badly wrong while you’re in Switzerland? What if you’re the victim of a crime, or fall ill? What if someone close to you dies abroad, or suffers other serious misfortune?  In this section we explain how we can help. 
This section of our site is still being developed.  Please therefore refer to the link below and then contact the British Embassy in Berne or the British Consulate General in Geneva depending on whether you are resident in Berne or Geneva’s consular district.  Berne is responsible for consular marriage registrations in all Swiss cantons, except for the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Valais and Fribourg, for which the Consulate General in Geneva is responsible.
More information from the FCO website.
