On 1 July, the UK Consular teams across China launched a new platform to interact with their nationals. WeChat or Weixin as it is known Chinese is a popular mobile app which allows users to communicate with large groups of people.
If you’re British and you live in or visit China regularly, you’ll know that our normal channels for messaging on Consular services for British nationals - Facebook and Twitter - are not available here. As more and more ex-pats sign up for WeChat in China, we’ll be using this channel as well - to inform you of important updates, point you to travel advice changes and give you some hints and tips on staying safe in China.
Following us is very straightforward, for WeChat users simply search UK Consular in the official accounts section or scan the QR code below.
