In March 2023 the headcount number of FCDO staff working at the British Embassy Tokyo was 20-29 FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) UK-based staff and 70-79 FTE country-based staff. These figures do not take into account staff working at the Embassy employed by the Department of Business and Trade, other government departments and devolved administrations.
