Zimbabwe Embassy Takes Consular Services to Scotland and Ireland

The Embassy of Zimbabwe in the United Kingdom is set to extend its consular outreach programme to Scotland and Ireland later this month, bringing vital services closer to citizens who would otherwise have to travel long distances to London.

The initiative is once again being held in partnership with Diaspora Insurance, which continues to support African embassies across the 25 nationalities it now serves.

According to a statement from Zimbabwe House in London, the first outreach stop will be Glasgow from October 13 to 14, followed by Dundee from October 15 to 16.

During these visits, Zimbabweans will be able to access a range of services, including passport applications, temporary travel documents, birth registrations, name changes due to marriage or divorce, and police clearance applications.

After Scotland, the programme will continue to Ireland, starting in Belfast on October 27 and 28, before moving to Dublin from October 29 to 31.

Diaspora Insurance first teamed up with the Zimbabwean Embassy in July this year, when it hosted embassy officials for a week at the company’s Birmingham headquarters, where hundreds of Zimbabweans received assistance with their consular matters.

Commenting on the collaboration, a company representative said:

“We are delighted to support the Zimbabwean Embassy’s outreach programme. Making essential consular services more accessible strengthens our bond with the Zimbabwean community in the UK. We remain committed to ensuring they receive the assistance and dignity they deserve.”

The company added that its headquarters are open to all 25 African nationalities covered by its policies worldwide.

Founded over 14 years ago, Diaspora Insurance has grown significantly through its flagship funeral cash plan, which provides swift financial assistance to Africans abroad. The plan allows policyholders to cover themselves and their loved ones back home—without the need for medical exams—helping families avoid the hardship of fundraising campaigns during times of bereavement.
