Due to the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, we advise Estonian citizens to avoid travelling to the region. Those currently in the region should follow the instructions of local authorities and consult the information on the embassy’s website. We are currently prioritizing requests for emergency assistance; therefore, responding to routine inquiries may take longer than usual.
