Security regulations
The British Embassy Lisbon security regulations, in line with all British diplomatic missions world-wide, do not permit visitors to enter the embassy with mobile telephones, laptops, PDAs or any other similar electrical devices. We prefer that you arrive at the embassy without them. If this is not possible we will retain them at the entrance during your visit. Visitors are required to pass through a number of security checks where such items will be detected.
Weapons (including pepper sprays), or any object that our security staff consider could be used as a weapon (scissors, screwdrivers, small blades), are also forbidden. These will not be retained by our staff. Should you arrive with such an object you will not be granted access but will be asked to return without it.
These regulations are intended to help us ensure the security for our staff and visitors. Your co-operation is appreciated.
