HM Ambassador William Patey CMG

Welcome to the website of the British Embassy in Riyadh. This site contains important information about the Embassy and about British Government policies, with advice to visitors to and from the United Kingdom. Details on our consular, visa, commercial and information services and links to other important Government and private sector departments are also available.

 

My wife, Vanessa, and I arrived in the Kingdom in 2007.  We return after nearly 9 years with many happy memories. We are looking forward to renewing our relationship with many of our old Saudi friends and look forward to making many new ones. We will continue to do what we can to strengthen the already strong relationship between the two Kingdoms.

Consular Services
British Nationals. Online Consular Registration - LOCATE

We have set up a new improved online registration service called LOCATE for British nationals travelling or living abroad to register themselves with the FCO.

In order to use LOCATE, you will need to register separately. But you will only need to register once. British nationals who are either resident in or visiting any country abroad, whether for business or pleasure, should register their details online. The registration details will remain on LOCATE. Details of your visits or residence abroad will not remain after their end date. LOCATE will accept details of travel abroad up to one year ahead. Please note that an existing subscription to the FCO's Online Services will not allow access to LOCATE.

We are confident that this new service will improve our ability to provide help in crisis situations and reduce delay and worry in times of stress for family and friends at home.
