British Consulate-General
Hong Kong

Part of:: Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The British Consulate-General in Hong Kong maintains and develops relations between the UK and Hong Kong.

We are here to support and protect UK interests in Hong Kong and Macao. The Consulate-General was officially opened on 1 July 1997, following the handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China.

Find out more on our UK and Hong Kong news page. We provide services to British nationals living in and visiting Hong Kong and Macao. You can access UK government services while in Hong Kong.

If you’re travelling in Hong Kong, see our Hong Kong Travel Advice.

Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:

ill, injured, or involved in a crime
with a British person who’s died

If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf.
