The authorities in different countries can vary substantially from what you are used to in your home country. Often it will not be as effective and efficient as you are used to. In some countries your concerns will be dealt with as a priority and others will consider almost any local issue before they deal with you as a ‘foreigner’. In many countries the authorities themselves are considered ‘corrupt’ and this can lead to a unique set of problems, including the need to deal with officials who may expect a bribe from you, before they help you to achieve your goals.
Beyond The Blue’s workshop looks at the type of authority figures you will come across on your travels and what sort of reaction you can expect if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law or a victim of crime. Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop provides you with advice on how to deal with the authorities including customs, the police and medical services
