British Embassy

The British Embassy in Riyadh represents the UK government in Saudi Arabia and supports relations between the UK and Saudi Arabia. It serves British nationals living, working, studying or visiting Saudi Arabia by providing consular information and guidance on diplomatic and citizen services. The embassy’s services include emergency assistance for British nationals, guidance on passports and issuing emergency travel documents, and advice on what to do if arrested, the victim of crime, or affected by a crisis abroad. Official guidance on travel, safety, and lists of English-speaking medical and professional services for residents are available through the government’s pages. Beyond consular assistance, the embassy provides practical information on living in Saudi Arabia such as accessing healthcare, legalisation of documents, registering births and deaths, and getting married abroad. Trade and investment information and support for UK businesses operating in or with Saudi Arabia are provided via the UK government’s business and trade networks. Visitors use the official government resources to find instructions on renewing or replacing passports while overseas, applying for emergency travel documents, travel and security advice, and details about the British Consulate General in Jeddah and other local UK government services in Saudi Arabia.
