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.
Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory, so there is no British Embassy, and the Pitcairn Island government will support you if you need help.
