There are a small number of British nationals currently in St Vincent and the Grenadines. We supported 7 British Nationals who took up the offer of a transfer from St Vincent to St Maarten on a Royal Caribbean ship. To meet the ship and assist these British Nationals on arrival in St Maarten on 17 April a UK Rapid Deployment Team travelled to St Maarten on 16 April. British Nationals in the area should continue to follow the advice of local authorities and are encouraged to contact the FCDO if they need consular assistance. British Nationals can contact the FCDO via phone and should sign up online for updates on FCDO Travel Advice for St Vincent and the Grenadines and for Barbados. Those in need of assistance can also contact Consular officials at the British High Commission in Bridgetown.
