For medical emergencies, ask for assistance calling 120 (ambulance). For police, call 110. Most international hotels have English-speaking staff available 24\/7 to assist with emergencies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q11_Can_hotels_help_with_visa_extensions_or_travel_document_issues\"><\/span>Q11: Can hotels help with visa extensions or travel document issues?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> While hotels cannot process visa extensions, concierge services at luxury hotels can direct you to the appropriate government offices and may provide translation assistance.
