Repatriation Update


After a conference call with FCO ministers, I am delighted to thank them for repatriating so many people. More details on what has been achieved to follow, as we continue to work with people who need to come home. If you need repatriation, in the first instance please contact your airline, travel company, cruise line or other transport, insurance and accommodation providers to see how they can assist.

If you require help from the Government, the best course of action is to get in touch with your nearest Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. You can find your nearest British representative here:

Anyone in the UK calling about a family member or friend overseas should call the main FCO switchboard any time on 020 7008 1500.

The FCO has also recommended looking at the following guide:
