Do you think if your in a forein country and have a american passport, will america pay to get you outof there
Answer:
NO Way. You can goto the american conculet but they are not going to buy u a ticket home.
Typically not. I have a friend whose wallet and passport were stolen while he was in the Czech Republic, and he had to wait three weeks for a new passport. He had no money for food or a place to stay, and the U.S. Consulate made no effort to help him. Long ago they would have helped him, but too many people scammed them, and they changed their policy. I've heard that in certain emergencies, like wars and epidemics, they still help, but I wouldn't count on them for anything. After all, we're talking about the U.S. government.
No
When you are in another country of kingdom, you are subject to the laws and policies of that country. The laws of the USA do not apply on foreign soil. You no longer are protected by the US Constitution and you do not have the rights of a U.S. citizen.
For example, drug trafficking in other countries like China or Thailand will win you a death sentence.
There is no right to an attorney, no right to remain silent, and no courtesy phone call in many countries.
You simply go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go and do not collect $200.
If you need emergency medical attention, you had better have cash with you. Most countries do not give credit or free medical services, nor do they accept American medical insurance. Medical treatment is rendered only after full payment is made.
The US consulate will help you replace a lost passport, but that is about all.
Sorry

Similar with AUSTRALIA you can go to the Consulate for an emergency loan but its usually only $150.00 (doesn't go far !) Try pleading your case with them on humanitarian grounds, might work !
Officially,the USA will not make a deal with you're captors. Unless you are someone that the government thinks important, and the problem can be handle from and in the US by a commercial agency, you have a mountain that looks impossible to climb.
An American passport is not a 'be all' or 'do all' document.
*blinks* Why would they bother do something like that?
I suppose if you were being tortured by Al-Qeada the US try to negotiate for your release and fly you back.
But give you money because you're in trouble? Nope.. you're on your own.. look to your family or the bank.
Still you shouldn't be travelling to another country without insurance.. see if you can get some money from that.
They will get you home but you have to pay the bill when you get back. Nothing free for U.S. citizens.
if you need help, check with the american embassy or consulate
