The British Consulate-General in Hong Kong maintains and develops relations between the UK and Hong Kong.

We are here to support and protect UK interests in Hong Kong and Macao. The Consulate-General was officially opened on 1 July 1997, following the handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China.

Find out more on our UK and Hong Kong news page. We provide services to British nationals living in and visiting Hong Kong and Macao. You can access UK government services while in Hong Kong.
