Non-resident heads of missions

The United Kingdom does not maintain a full embassy or High Commission in a number of countries. In each of these cases, the heads of Missions to another country, usually a neighbouring one, is concurrently accredited to the other country. In most cases, a smaller, local mission provides for emergencies, and is headed up by a lesser diplomat or a member of the local British community.

In the case of the Côte d'Ivoire, the embassy has been vacated for security reasons, although, in normal circumstances, a separate ambassadorial position would be maintained.
