Some
British tourists abroad, including in The Gambia, are already finding
difficulties returning to the UK because of international travel restrictions
and domestic policies around the world. The FCO is working around the clock to
support all British travelers in this situation to come back to the UK.
The
UK Government is working with airlines to keep routes open and is calling for
international action to keep air routes open for a sufficient period of time to
enable international travellers to return on commercial flights.
British
people abroad should keep up to date with our travel advice for the
country/territory they are in.
We
have published advice for British nationals who do not have immediate departure
options available to them:

British
Nationals in The Gambia should comply with the health guidelines published by
the Gambian Ministry of Health and follow the simple steps to protect the
health and safety of individuals and those around them. If you are a British
National, the quickest, easiest and safest way to inform the British High
Commission about your situation is to fill in the online contact form on our
website www.gov.uk/world/gambia or email the High Commission following the
instructions on our UK in The Gambia Facebook page.
