From an EU Member State or Schengen Associated Country, may I enter this country without being subject to extraordinary restrictions?


No


Note: Czechia adopts its own national classification of risk areas, hence travel restrictions for Czechia are not based on the common "EU Traffic Lights" map.

It is possible to travel to the Czech Republic only for essential reasons. Travelling for the purpose of tourism, or to visit friends, is not possible. Cross-border workers are not affected by the ban. Border controls have not been reintroduced.

In case of travellers for essential reasons, the following entry restrictions apply:

for EU countries classified as "high-risk" (marked in red), the free movement within the territory is banned for 10 days. This can be terminated by submission of a negative PCR test result to the regional hygienic station either within 7 days from the entry or right after arrival in case of a test taken no more than 72 hours before departure from the country of origin. Furthermore, a Passenger Locator Form is mandatory. The above-mentioned requirements are not necessary in the following conditions: 

  • if your stay in a red country did not exceed 12 hours in last 14 days;
  • for cross-border workers, pupils and students coming from neighbouring countries;
  • in case of urgent travel (for work and/or health-related reasons) for a period of time not exceeding 24 hours;
  • in case of transit for up to 12 hours.

Additional information can be found on covid.gov.cz

For EU countries classified as "low-risk"

in case of orange countries marked with *, entry is allowed without restrictions and without the requirement to fill in the Passenger Locator Form. In case a foreigner working or studying in Czechia, a confirmation of a negative PCR test result has to be delivered to the employer or the educational institution. 

In the case of green countries, entry is allowed without restrictions. 


What are the rules to enter this country from outside an EU Member State or Schengen Associated country?


Specific measures for the new variant of coronavirus

Entry to the Czech Republic by direct flight from the UK is permitted only for passengers who are either Czech citizens or those who hold residency or a long-term valid visa for the Czech Republic. You must present a negative RT-PCR or antigen test that has been taken in the UK and is no older than 72 hours. Without Czech citizenship, proof of residency or a long-term visa, you will not be permitted to enter the Czech Republic.

On arrival in the Czech Republic, you must self-isolate for at least 5 days, before undertaking a further RT-PCR or antigen test between 5-7 days after arrival. A negative test result ends this period of self-isolation. You are also required to fill in the Passenger Locator Form and present it upon arrival.

Other foreigners may fly only for air transit or transfer at the same airport, provided that they do not stay in the Czech Republic for more than 12 hours.


It is possible to travel to the Czech Republic only for essential reasons. Travelling for the purpose of tourism, or to visit friends, is not possible.

This decision does not affect cross-border workers in any new way. Border controls have not been reintroduced.

Measures taken by the General Directorate of Customs of the Czech Republic
regarding the COVID-19 outbreak


Since the beginning of the declared COVID-19 state of emergency on 12 March, the General
Directorate of Customs of the Czech Republic follows closely the Government decisions,
instructions from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of the Interior and other institutions.


Special attention is paid regarding legal instruments, instructions, notes and recommendations
from the European Commission which apply in the whole European Union.


Internally, the General Directorate of Customs informs all staff about relevant decisions and
instructs about necessary procedure to be followed. All instructions are regularly updated and
published on the internal website of the Customs administration.


Externally, the General Directorate of Customs publishes information on its website
www.celnisprava.cz and deals individually with relevant stakeholders (government and other
state and institutions, transport operators, companies…).


In order to prevent the further expansion of the COVID-19 epidemic and, on the other hand, to remain operational and continue performance of customs activities, the General Directorate of Customs adopted the following measures in connection with the state of emergency which
apply for all customs procedures:


- Health protection and safety – use of personal protective equipment, hygiene and
disinfection measures;
- Restriction on movement of persons within the public areas of Customs offices (entry
to the building upon demand, body temperature checks);
- Limitation of direct contact with declarants and drivers (isolated rooms for storage and
distribution of mail and other documents, where possible, documents are sent
electronically);
- Protection based on the social distancing principle (change of shifts for customs
officers, teleworking where possible);
- Flexibility towards extension of time-limits, deadlines and validity of documents,
certificates and declarations;
- Temporary export restrictions on certain categories of critical medical supplies (such
as medicines, disinfection and protective equipment);
- Reliefs from customs duty and taxes for the import or temporary admission of medical,
surgical and laboratory equipment in line with the current legal provisions;
- Facilitation of customs procedures and customs formalities in line with the current legal
provisions;
- Recommendation to use simplifications.


Practical implementation of the measures and further facilitation depends on the facilities and
overall situation at each Customs office.


Until today, the General Directorate of Customs has not identified any serious problem or
obstacles affecting the proper functioning of all customs procedures. At this moment of time,
there are on-going efforts to manage the current difficult situation while ensuring compliance
with the legal obligations.

Those arriving in the country must undergo a PCR within five days of arrival. If an individual does not submit a PCR test result to the respective health authorities within seven days of arrival, they will have to quarantine.

It will also be possible to submit a PCR test result that was issued by another EU member country. This document must be delivered to the relevant health authorities immediately upon arrival and cannot be older than 72 hours. This rule applies to the Czech citizens, EU citizens and third-country nationals with a long-term or permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic or another EU country.
Third-country nationals with a proven long-lasting relationship with an EU citizen (who must have a certificate of temporary residence or permanent residence permit for the Czech Republic) and workers in international transport will be allowed to enter the country.

This measure does not apply to international transport workers, if the reason for entry can be proven.

Members are reminded of the wide exemption from 561/2006 on the Czech territory. There is a critical situation on the CZ/SK borders due to drivers taking the 45 min. rest in the right lane blocking the access to the border crossing. Drivers are asked to take the rest elsewhere or to postpone it.
