Help for British Nationals

FCO consular staff in Bahrain offers practical advice, assistance and support to an ever-increasing number of British nationals who travel or live in Bahrain.

Typical consular duties performed by the consular staff include issuing passports and registering births and deaths; handling cases of child abduction and forced marriages; and assisting Britons detained or imprisoned, who have fallen ill or been the victim of a crime. In addition, Consular staff use their local knowledge to assess objectively the risks to British nationals, which range from terrorism to natural disasters.

This information is distilled by the London travel advice unit into the FCO country advice notices, which is relied on by thousands of travellers, tour operators and travel agents.
