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

Find out more about our work on the UK and Thailand news page.

If you need urgent medical help or are a victim of crime, call the local emergency services on the following numbers:

  • the tourist police - an English speaking service for visitors to Thailand 1155
  • medical emergency 1669
  • police 191
  • ambulance and rescue service 1554

Contact your insurance provider if you have one. They will tell you what your policy covers, and what you need to do to make a claim.

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

Get help from FCDO

In many situations, you will be able to help yourself without needing to contact the British Embassy. Check our guidance on:

If you cannot use your passport

You can apply for an emergency travel document if you need to travel urgently and cannot use your passport because it is lost, stolen or damaged.

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

If you do not need to travel urgently, you should still report a lost or stolen passport.

Getting a visa to the UK

The British Embassy does not provide visas and cannot advise on UK visas. If you have any questions about the application process or your visa status, contact UK Visas and Immigration.

You can check if you need a visa and apply for one.

Official documents and services we provide

We provide a limited range of notarial and document services when local notary publics, solicitors, or lawyers cannot provide them. You will need to pay a fee for these services.

Support for British nationals living in Thailand

Read our guidance for living in Thailand for information on travelling to, living, working and studying there.

You can find a full list of UK help and services available in Thailand.
