What consulates cannot do for you

Although we try to help British nationals in a wide range of situations, we
cannot:

get you out of prison, prevent the local authorities from deporting
you after your prison sentence, or interfere in criminal or civil court
proceedings
help you enter a country, for example, if you do not have a visa or
your passport is not valid, as we cannot interfere in another countrys
immigration policy or procedures
give you legal advice, investigate crimes or carry out searches for
missing people, although we can give you details of people who may
be able to help you in these cases
get you better treatment in hospital or prison than is given to local
people
pay any bills or give you money

make travel arrangements for you, find you work, accommodation,

or make business arrangements on your behalf
get involved in private disputes over property, employment,
commercial or other matters
