The only documentation you need is a valid UK passport. In case your passport is expiring while abroad, you can always renew the passport from the nearest British consulate. Those who leave UK for extended periods should consider registering with the local British consulate, while registration may not be mandatory, it is beneficial to do so and often can be done online.
