European Day of Safe Travel Abroad 2025 - initiative of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union
26.05.2025
On 23 May 2025, we celebrated the first European Day of Safe Travel Abroad, established by the Council of the European Union at the initiative of the Polish Presidency. #EUSafeTravelDay #SafeTravels #Poland25eu
The initiative of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union is addressed to all those planning safe and trouble-free travel abroad. To this end, EU Member States and European institutions will conduct annual media campaigns on safe travel by encouraging:
- familiarising yourself with current travel information and warnings;
- reporting foreign travel in dedicated systems;
- buying travel insurance (requirment);
- familiarising yourself with the scope of consular assistance offered by Member States abroad, including consular assistance for unrepresented EU citizens;
- using the possibility of obtaining a temporary passport in emergency situations or an EU emergency travel document.
We wish you safe travels abroad!
