If you were on holiday and you lost your passport
If you were on holiday and you lost your passport, would you know what to do?
I think that if I lose my passport when I am abroad, I should try to find the ambassy of my country.
If I can´t go to the ambassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone to the ambassy. If the embassy is not available, I should contact the police of the country I visit.

If you were on holiday and you lost your passport, would you know what to do?
This was technically correct, but it sounds unwieldy. Something like my correction (which doesn't repeat the subject) or "If you lost your passport while on holiday" would sound better.
I think that if I lose my passport when I am abroad, I should try to find the aembassy of my country.
"That" as a conjunction is generally optional in English, so you could also omit it here. At times, that might sound more natural.
If I can´'t go to the aembassy, because the embassy is far for instance, I should try to phone to the aembassy.
Unlike the French "téléphoner", "phone" takes a direct object.
If the embassy is not available, I should contact the police of the country I visit.
Feedback
The errors here are small, but I think the phrasing could be adjusted to sound more natural in English, as mentioned in my comments.
