What To Do If You Lose Your UK Travel Docs Overseas

Lost my BRP and Passport overseas on Schengen trip as a non- national

I wanted to share my experience as I found reading stories on here somewhat helpful but also some inaccurate. I traveled to the south of France where my passport was stolen, jn my passport was also my BRP. So basically, didn't have any documentation, I flew to Paris to get emergency travel documents from my country embassy. Which I got but nothing but print outs of my BRP. It was denied to board the flight to London from nice so I opted to fly to Paris again to London. In Paris they had more experience with my situation and simply made a few calls to verify my identity. Which now they can do online or show them your right to work. They allowed me to board the plan and when in London. The border force was quite helpful when I handed him all my documents. He made a lost note for my BRP replacement and allowed to enter the country in under 5mins. Must say i didn't require a replacements visa but I suppose I was lucky.
