Taking and giving evidence by video link from abroad in UK court cases and tribunals

If you are involved in a UK court case or tribunal hearing and you are based abroad, your involvement may need to be via a video link. You may be:

• taking a complaint to a UK court or tribunal, sometimes known as making an appeal
• submitting evidence in a case or hearing that you or someone else has taken to the court or tribunal

Whether or not you can do this will depend upon the country you are based in and the type of court case or tribunal. The different types are:

• administrative tribunal cases
• civil or commercial tribunal cases
• civil or commercial court cases
• criminal court cases

Use this page to find out what the rules are for each country and for each type of court and tribunal case.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) manages this information and the agreements UK courts have with other countries. It also handles queries where they relate to tribunals and civil or commercial court cases but not to criminal court cases.

Learn more about tribunals and about the structure of the courts and tribunal system from the Courts and Tribunals Judiciary.

Administrative tribunals

Administrative tribunals hear appeals against decisions made by government departments or agencies.

To find out whether an agreement exists between the UK and another country for taking evidence by video link in an administrative tribunal, first consult the list of countries in this guidance. If the country is not listed, it means no agreement exists. Where no agreement exists, contact TOE.Enquiries@fcdo.gov.uk to request advice on contacting the authorities in that country directly to seek permission for giving evidence from abroad.
