From Monday, December 14, Czechs can return without any restrictions from France and Greece.

Only foreigners who work or study in the Czech Republic for a long time need to submit a COVID-19 test upon arrival from these two countries.

As of Monday of November 9th, 2020 there is in force a new Ministry of Health Protective Measure which regulates the entry of persons to the Czech Republic. The consequent epidemiological measures and restrictions are applicable both to the Czech citizens returning to the Czech Republic and to all foreign nationals.

Countries are divided into three categories: green, orange, and red.

Green – travelers from these countries (both foreign nationals and Czech citizens) may enter without the obligation to fill in the Public Health Passenger Locator Form and without the obligation to undergo the PCR test or quarantine.

Orange – travelers from these countries may enter without the obligation to fill in the Public Health Passenger Locator Form. Those foreign nationals traveling to the Czech Republic for work or study purposes are be obliged to submit a negative PCR test result prior to entry to the workplace or an educational institution in the Czech Republic. This applies only to foreign nationals.

Red – travelers from these countries (both foreign nationals and Czech citizens) must fill in the Public Health Passenger Locator Form prior to entry to the Czech Republic and undergo the PCR test or quarantine after the entry.

If necessary, you can travel to the countries marked in red for up to 24 hours without a negative COVID-19 test result. This applies to travel for health reasons, family, business or work.

Citizens of third countries, meaning of countries outside of the EU+, continue to be banned from entry to the territory of the Czech Republic, apart from the listed exceptions, in accordance with the EU coordinated approach.

Conditions for entry and categories of persons that are eligible to entry are regulated by the new Protective Measure. The conditions for entry are found at the MoI website.
