I'm having a vacation in Paris with my girlfriend. She is a Russian exchange student but studying/living until September in Germany. Unfortunately, her bag including the German visa got stolen. Our flight goes back to Germany on Tuesday and I'd like to know if it is possible to get European emergency travel document with this admitted German national visa.

She doesn't have any kind of proof of identity right know but I have the flight tickets. We also received a note from police station proving that the passport/visa got stolen. Also, should we go to German or Russian embassy in this case?

1: Contact police, which you have done.

2: Contact the Russian Embassy in Paris about obtaining an emergency travel document and starting the process of replacing the lost passport - +33 1 45 04 05 50

3: Call the airline and ask what they will accept in lieu of the passport for boarding the flight back to Germany.

4: Contact German Immigration and find out the steps to replace your visa and/or entry permission.

5: In the future take a photo of the front page of your passport and any applicable visas and email them to yourself or store them online somewhere to have as back ups in case this happens.
