Help for British Nationals

FCO consular staff in Bahrain offers practical advice, assistance and support to an ever-increasing number of British nationals who travel or live in Bahrain.

For travel advice in Bahrain click here.

Typical consular duties performed by the consular staff include issuing passports and registering births and deaths; handling cases of child abduction and forced marriages; and assisting Britons detained or imprisoned, who have fallen ill or been the victim of a crime.  In addition, Consular staff use their local knowledge to assess objectively the risks to British nationals, which range from terrorism to natural disasters.   This information is distilled by the London travel advice unit into the FCO country advice notices, which is relied on by thousands of travellers, tour operators and travel agents.

Note for all visitors

In the interests of Security we do not allow access to the Embassy for visitors who are carrying overly large bags.  Similarly our Ministry of Interior guards are not allowed to accept bags at the gate whilst visitors conduct their business inside.

You are requested to leave all large bags in your vehicle or at home.  Ladies handbags and small briefcases are allowed but will need to be fully checked before entry is given by the guard force.  Laptop computers are not allowed into the Embassy unless with the express permission of the Deputy Head of Mission or the Head of Security.  Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
