We maintain and develop relations between the UK and Madagascar. The British Embassy in Antananarivo provides services to British nationals in Madagascar.

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

You can apply for an emergency travel document (https://www.gov.uk/emergency-travel-document) if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen (https://www.gov.uk/report-a-lost-or-stolen-passport), damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport (https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport) in time to travel.

If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf.

If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport (https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport) in time to travel.

Other consular services

Notarial and documentary services

British Embassy Antananarivo does not provide notarial and documentary services for British nationals in Madagascar. Where local notaries can provide services, the British Embassy will not provide them. In many cases local notaries or lawyers (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/madagascar-list-of-lawyers) can sometimes provide these services more conveniently.

Development work with Madagascar

The UK government supports international development through long-term partnerships. These are tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. Sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and we are working to go further and faster to reduce poverty globally.
