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

Our work covers a range of issues including representing the British government in its relations with the Nepalese government and the people of Nepal.

We develop Britain’s relationship with Nepal as part of the British government’s wider role overseas of working for British interests, including those of individual British citizens and organisations.

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

If you’re travelling in Nepal, see our Nepal 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.

Development work with Nepal

The UK government supports international development through long-term partnerships. These are tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. Sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and we are working to go further and faster to reduce poverty globally.
