Urgent help needed with stolen visa
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?
