Mogadishu
The British Embassy in Somalia maintains and develops relations between the UK and Somalia.
Our mission is to support Somalia in becoming a stable, secure and prosperous state.
The UK in Somalia is represented by the Ministry of Defence, Stabilisation Unit and Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. We also have Somalia-focused teams in Nairobi and Addis Ababa.
The British Embassy Mogadishu does not provide consular services. If you’re in Somalia or Somaliland you can contact the British High Commission Nairobi.
Find out more on our UK and Somalia news page. We provide services to British nationals living in and visiting Somalia. You can access UK government services while in Somalia.
If you’re travelling in Somalia, see our Somalia 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
Get an emergency travel document
You can apply for an emergency travel document if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen, damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.
Apply online for an emergency travel document
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.
If you are not a British citizen or have not had a British passport before
If you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen.
If you’re not a British citizen but think you may be eligible, contact us to apply for an emergency travel document.
Development work with Somalia
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.
