Worldwide & regional weather reports As a partner in the Know Before You Go campaign, we are working with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to do all that we can to help British travellers stay safe overseas. Before you go overseas, check out the FCO website at www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo. It is packed with essential travel advice and tips, and up-to-date country information.
The FCOs consular service is a major operation - every day their consular staff around the world are helping British nationals. The Travel section of this website contains a wealth of information for anyone planning a trip overseas - country advice, travellers' tips, advice for you while you're there, and much more.
As soon as you begin thinking about travelling abroad check your passport, if you have one already, don't let it run out on you; and if you do not have a passport apply in good time via the 'Check and Send' service at your local Post Office. The UK Passport Service can provide all the information you need regarding your passport or passport application.
