What does CER mean in COMPANIES & FIRMS

Compassionate Emergency Repatriation (CER) is a process that allows an individual to be returned to their home country in the event of an emergency. This can happen when an individual becomes unable to look after themselves or is affected by a crisis in the country they are visiting.

Individuals who have been injured, become ill, or face security threats while travelling abroad may be eligible for CER assistance. In addition, those facing financial hardship due to events such as natural disasters or civil unrest may also be eligible.

CER provides financial and medical support for those needing repatriation back to their home countries. This includes providing travel arrangements, accommodation and necessary medical treatments during the trip home.

Depending on your individual circumstances and what type of incident you have encountered while travelling, you may be entitled to full coverage of repatriation costs under this aid program. It's best to consult with your embassy or consulate for more details about possible entitlements you may have under this program.

You must contact your embassy or consulate before applying for CER assistance as each situation will differ depending on individual circumstances and the type of incident encountered while travelling abroad. If deemed eligible, you will receive further instructions on how to progress with your application from there.
