Travelling to the UK and visas

If you plan to visit the UK check what documents you’ll need to enter the UK (https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control/before-you-leave-for-the-uk?utm_source=Check-documents&utm_medium=Embassy&utm_campaign=Template) and check if you need a UK visa (https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa?utm_source=Check-visa&utm_medium=Embassy&utm_campaign=Template).

For questions about applying for a visa or your visa status, contact UK Visas and Immigration (https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk?utm_source=Contact-UKVI&utm_medium=Embassy&utm_campaign=Spain) (UKVI). The British Consulate in Alicante cannot help with travel or visa enquiries.

Getting help in Spain

Emergency assistance

Contact your travel provider and insurer if you’re involved in a serious incident or emergency abroad. They’ll tell you if they can help and what you need to do to make a claim.

Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:
- ill, injured, or involved in a crime
- with a British person who’s died

Passports

If you’re abroad and cannot use your passport, for example if it’s been lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for a replacement passport (https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports?utm_source=Passport&utm_medium=Embassy&utm_campaign=Spain).

If you need to travel before your replacement passport is issued, you can apply for an emergency travel document (https://www.gov.uk/travel-urgently-from-abroad-without-uk-passport?utm_source=ETD&utm_medium=Embassy&utm_campaign=Spain).
