The British Embassy in Tripoli maintains and develops relations between the UK and Libya.

Our mission is to support Libya in becoming a stable, secure and prosperous state. Our teams in Libya cover a range of issues, including diplomatic engagement; education and culture; security and defence; trade and investment; climate change and energy; and development assistance.

The British Embassy Tripoli does not provide consular services. If you are in Libya you can contact the British Embassy Tunis.

If you are travelling in Libya, see our Libya 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.

If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.
