RTW travellers should register with the FCO's LOCATE service


If you are a British national, and travelling abroad, or planning to do so, especially to Thailand should use the FCOs LOCATE service. The FCO are encouraging all British nationals travelling and living abroad to register with LOCATE, even for short trips.

  • if a major catastrophe occurs we’ll have an instant record of your details so the FCO can contact you to make sure you’re OK and provide advice.
  • if family and friends need to get in touch with you they can help them to find you.
  • it only takes a few minutes to register your travel or residence information online and the local British Embassy will know you are coming.
  • You do not need to contact them directly.
  • you only need to register for the service once and then update your account when you make a new trip abroad or change your country of residence. You can even add planned trips abroad up to a year ahead
  • LOCATE improves their ability to provide help in an emergency and reduce delay and worry in times of stress for family and friends at home.
