Disabled access

Wherever possible, we have made our buildings and services accessible. Sometimes however, this is not possible due to security or other restrictions. In these situations we will endeavour to provide a service or access to a building in an alternative way to ensure equality of access for disabled people.

To assist disabled visitors, we have set out below details of disabled access to this embassy. We hope this information is helpful.

  • steps and staircases. The consular and visa section, and other parts of the embassy can be accessed without climbing and steps. However, there is a short flight of steps at the entrance to the main building
