Consular Travel Advice Line

We at Finer International, provide a continuous, and uninterrupted, around the clock emergency help-point dedicated to providing guidance and advice for travellers in need of consular and welfare attention.

We have our own in-house Consular trained team, headed up by our Consular Operations Director Amine Diguer, comprised of Consular specialists and former Diplomats. As a member, we aim to answer all inquiries within 20 seconds and assign your emergency to a dedicated member of staff who will remain, whenever possible, the same point of contact throughout the life of any case.

We deal with all cases in line with the principles of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) and will always be guided by industry best practice in every situation.

Our diverse team of professionals are passionate about providing best in-class specialist travel and consular emergency services, whilst working always to deliver best value for money.

While finding out the correct information yourself could save you money in the short term, the benefits of using our services (expert advice, research, less hassle, someone to ask questions at anytime) could outweigh the many risks and implications that you could face in the long run.

Wherever you are in the world and disaster strikes, we are ready to respond with our expertise and resources anytime, anywhere.
