The Czech Foreign Ministry on 27 February advised its citizens in Israel to ‘exercise heightened caution’ and to consider departing while commercial flights remain available, citing the risk of escalation between the United States and Iran. (expats.cz) The warning follows the U.S. Embassy’s decision to authorise the voluntary departure of non-essential staff and family members.
An estimated 8,000 Czech nationals either reside in or travel regularly to Israel for business, defence-industry projects and pilgrimages.

For travellers who suddenly need to reroute or update their paperwork, VisaHQ can step in quickly by arranging emergency visa services, passport renewals, and real-time entry-requirement checks. Czech citizens can start these processes through the dedicated portal at https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/ gaining 24/7 application tracking and live customer support that proves useful if flight schedules change on short notice.
The ministry recommends that all Czech travellers enrol in the DROZD registration system, monitor local media and follow Israeli Home Front Command instructions. Employers with staff on rotation in Tel Aviv’s technology corridor and in Jerusalem have been asked to review evacuation plans and ensure that employees carry travel-insurance policies covering security-related disruptions.
Airlines have not yet cancelled flights from Prague, but several have introduced flexible re-booking options. Corporate-risk managers should brief travellers on potential airport-security delays and have contingency budgets for earlier-than-planned returns. The alert does not change insurance coverage requirements under Czech labour law, but failure to document a risk assessment could expose companies to liability if the security situation deteriorates.
