Falkland Islands
Getting help
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) cannot provide tailored advice for individual trips. Read this travel advice and carry out your own research before deciding whether to travel.
The Falkland Islands is a British Overseas Territory, so there is no British Embassy, and the Falkland Islands government will support you if you need help.
