Czech Citizenship
Acquiring Czech Citizenship for Israeli Citizens
Since 2014, Czech law allows for dual, or even multiple, citizenship for its nationals. Based on an amendment from 2019, it is also possible to acquire Czech citizenship through an ancestor who lost it (with certain exceptions) during the existence of Czechoslovakia.
Czech Citizenship Based on Grandparents
In the past week, we received a Certificate of Czech Citizenship for one of our clients, whose grandmother emigrated from Czechoslovakia to the United States and was naturalized as a US citizen.
Czech Citizenship by Descent
Many Czechoslovak citizens have left the country during the world wars, after the communist coup in 1948, during the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, or any time during the communist era. Most of them migrated to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel. The descendants of Czech and Czechoslovak emigrants now have a chance to claim Czech citizenship.
