Emergency Services
The U.S. Embassy in Tallinn is available to provide services to American citizens 24 hours a day in the event of a serious emergency, such as death, arrest, illness, missing persons or destitution. For general information on the type of emergency services that can be provided, and the limits on those services, please refer to the Department of State’s main travel website at http://travel.state.gov.
A U.S. citizen who wishes to request emergency assistance should call the Embassy’s Consular Section during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Estonian time) at 668-8128, -8111 or -8197. The main switchboard telephone number is 668-8100. (When calling from the United States, begin by dialing 011-372-.) Outside of normal business hours, you may call 668-8100 and ask to speak to the “duty officer,” or call the mobile number of the duty officer directly at 509-2129 (if calling from the United States, begin by dialing 011-372-).
Please note that any issues relating to visas for individuals who are not American citizens, even if an American citizen has a direct interest in the matter, generally are not considered to be emergencies.
