The British Embassy work in Albania to support rule of law and economic reform required for Albania to meet the conditions for EU membership. They work closely with the Albanian authorities to reduce the effect on the UK from organised crime and illegal migration.

The Consular Office provides five main areas of services:

• Travel Advise: the Embassy offers information, news and updates to ensure the safety of their citizens.

• Visas: information on whether one requires a visa for the United Kingdom and how to apply.
• Births, deaths and marriages: the Embassy provides information on how to register a birth or death which occurred overseas, and legal documents for couples marrying or entering into civil partnership in Albania.
