Bangkok: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an advisory urging Thai citizens residing in high-risk areas, specifically in Iran and Israel, to vacate the regions immediately due to escalating tensions. The ministry has emphasized the importance of leaving while commercial airlines are still operational or, alternatively, seeking refuge in shelters designed to protect against missile attacks.

According to Thai News Agency, the advisory comes in response to the current volatile situation in the Middle East, which poses a potential threat to the safety of Thai nationals living in the area. The ministry has highlighted the possibility of the conflict intensifying and spreading, thus affecting the well-being of Thai residents.

Additionally, the ministry advises Thai citizens without any urgent travel requirements to Iran or Israel to reconsider their travel plans, given the uncertain and rapidly changing situation. The advisory stresses the importance of staying informed through reliable news sources. For those requiring urgent assistance, the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General in the respective areas, along with the Department of Consular Affairs Call Center, remains available 24/7 at 0-2572-8442.
