Welcome to the British Embassy in the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

If you want to find out more about the services the Embassy provides, about the UK itself or about our approach to world affairs, this is a good place to start.

You can visit our News pages to get the latest information on UK-Libyan relations or UK policy in the wider region. You can also access links directly to web sites in Britain concentrating on your areas of interest. Please contact my staff if there is an enquiry you think we can help with.

If you want to travel to Britain you can visit our Visa Section pages to get information and advice on obtaining a visa and to download an application form.

If you are a business person you can visit the Commercial Section pages to find out what UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) can do to help you whether your business is in Libya or the UK.

If you are a British citizen travelling to or living in Libya, then please refer to the Consular Section pages.

Diplomatic relations can also mean opportunities to develop existing educational links and add new ones. From our links page, you can contact the British Council and a range of other bodies.

The Embassy is here to promote understanding, friendship and cooperation, whether this be through increased institutional links, the growth of bilateral exports and investment, or discussion of the burning issues of the day in Europe, Africa or the Middle East: it’s all our business.
