Welcome to the website of the British Embassy in Dublin.

Thank you for your interest in the United Kingdom and in the services and information we can offer.

Few relationships are as richly textured, deeply rooted, and multi faceted as that between the United Kingdom and Ireland. Few relationships have as much potential.  Grounded in mutual respect; with the shared commitment of our governments to tackle problems together, and the shared ambition to build a strong, modern partnership, reflecting the experience and aspirations of our peoples. I very much look forward to doing all I can to underpin that strong, modern relationship, between our two countries, as partners in Europe and beyond.

A central part of our work in Dublin is to provide efficient and courteous consular and visa services. We want to give UK citizens in Ireland the best possible help. And we want to encourage and welcome citizens from other countries who want to visit the UK legitimately under the terms of our immigration rules.

We hope that our website can give you the information and practical help you need about the UK and the Embassy's services, or provide a link to sites dealing with the specific subject in which you are interested.

Please let us know if you think there is any way in which we can improve the site or the services we offer, or if you have questions to which you can't find an answer on the site. You can do this by sending an email to: webmaster.dubli@fco.gov.uk

Thank you, once again, for coming to our website. I hope you will visit us regularly.
