British Consulate in Djibouti

The United Kingdom also has a consulate in Djibouti; a consulate does consular work for a region: passports, certificates and help for nationals in difficulty.

Djiboutian citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to the United Kingdom. From Djibouti, the application is made at the consulate of the United Kingdom in Djibouti or through a visa centre appointed by the United Kingdom.

Djibouti has no mission in the United Kingdom on record; Djiboutian citizens there would be served by an embassy accredited from another country.
