Consular services
Emergency travel documents, consular assistance for British nationals in the Shanghai and eastern China consular district.
Visiting and hours
The British Consulate General in Shanghai serves British nationals in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces. Services mirror those at the Beijing Embassy: emergency travel documents, welfare and whereabouts cases, arrest notification, and general consular support. Routine passport renewals should be submitted directly to HM Passport Office online.
The Shanghai Centre location is central and metro-accessible. Appointments are required; book via GOV.UK. The consulate operates an out-of-hours emergency line for genuine emergencies involving British nationals.
