Embassy of Czechia

That should be directed to the Czech ministry of the interior. That said covid restrictions were lifted in April

Since January 1, 2014, the legal system of the Czech Republic does not require the loss of citizenship if a Czech citizen acquires a foreign citizenship, thus allowing him to fully enjoy dual citizenship Good luck 🤞

I am Czech citizien permanent resident of USA, I am flying to Prague by KLM on Sept29th, be there on Sept 30th. I was fully vaccinated . Do I need the Covid test and how old? Thank you Marie Mannova

Holders of Brasilian passports do not need a Visa to visit the Czech republic (Schengen travel area) for short term tourist visits of 90 days. Have a nice trip

Its is advisable to have it around 6 months validity from your last day in Europe. This is a rule of thumb for any destination, however as you're not applying for visas, leeway can be applied if not exactly 6mnths and a but less. Have a nice trip

May I ask if at least one of his parents were Czechoslovak citizens when he was born? Being born in CZE will not result in acquiring the Czech nationality. You can be born anywhere, but one of the parents must hold the nationality at that time. If yes, then its a simple process really and ofcourse you need to contact the embassy, however I believe its doable without the need to fly to Europe. Best of luck

Agreed. Dual citizenship is allowed and not an issue + it's not so simple to have your citizenship annulled.. In a way, almost unheard of. You're Czech and will be in the 'system' thus very simple to get all your updated docs and certificate of citizenship if needed. Ofcourse you have to swear and agree in writing, that no one in the world brews better beer than CZE and our Budweiser from České Budějovice is the real deal :)

If a visa application is required then insurance in mandatory (coverage €30,000+).. But in case you fly with a passport that doesn't require a visa, then it's up to you however its always good to always have travel insurance.. its not expensive and better be safe than sorry.. Your local health insurance isn't valid in Europe. Only EU member states can use their national health insurance while in Europe. Anything outside, buy one for the days travelled for coverage Have a nice trip

If you get a Czech visa in the USA, usually you mention in the application your Port of entty, however its not a problem. You will need to enter the Schengen travel area anyways if not flying to Prague directly, so your entry into the EU will be that EU country. Arriving to Prague from the Ukraine with a US issued Visa is perfectly fine. Have a nice trip

Whether the system is similar to other embassies, it is enough to come at office hours at any time without ordering. The process is very simple. The embassy employee will print out the application already filled in by the system and all you have to do is sign. Take an older passport with you and don't forget the photos, which must be the right size and not retouched (the scanner will recognize this). You upload fingerprints there and do the same again until you get a passport as if it was a confirmation. I always had a passport within exactly 30 days and the fee is the same as anywhere at the office in the Czech Republic.

I agree. I never really encountered anything in the extent seen when traveling to the US and even stricter when entering Australia. The seeds sounds alright as it's not an invasive species and it can be found in some parts of the country. Please note though that I've seen stricter controls lately inspecting agricultural, feed & other 'bio' items (mandated by EFSA and EU regulations). The only difference is that there are no landing cards or customs cards. So if you have any items you are not sure about, then go through the red gate at customs and declare it to the officers. Hoping you enjoyed beautiful Prague.. http://www.szpi.gov.cz/en/article/increased-level-of-official-controls-on-imports-of-certain-feed-and-food-of-non-animal-origin.aspx

The social security system in the Czech Republic is available to all, however if you are not working (no income in CZ) then you are exempt from the mandatory monthly payments. This also means that you aren't paying into the pension fund, which limits your entitlement to recieving a government pension. You can start paying monthly then you'll be eligible for pension after several years. Please note that unlike the US, a social security number isn't used for identification. Your Rodne Cislo or Personal number is what you have in your passport and ID card. The health insurance payments are mandatory if you have a permanent address in CZE (can be put on hold if you live abroad 6+ mnths), however during this time your 'state insurance card' will be returned + you are unable to benefit from free health care. In case you would like to reactivate it, then you make the set monthly payment to VZP offices and you'll have instant access to the health care system without any restrictions.

Usually the first place to look is the town's registry office - in Czech we call it Matrika. I'm sure you'll need to make a request to view the records noting that digitalisation of records is ongoing so online lists' availability will vary from region to region. Here's the link with the town registry office address and an article describing how to search the records. Best of luck http://www.mestodobruska.cz/m/urad/ http://rodokmen.nase-koreny.cz/materialy/patrani_online.htm

As a Czech citizen you can vote in the presidential and parliamentary elections at the embassy. Please note that you need to 'register' yourself in the embassy and accordingly they will change your voting district from your hometown (permanent address in CZE or city) to the embassy. Voting is simple. When arriving to the voting area, present your Czech passport or Czech national ID card. They check and confirm that your details match the pre-printed voting list. You will be given an envelope containing all candidates or political parties (1 page per candidate). You will be directed to a private corner behind a screen, where you will pick 1 sheet that belongs to your chosen candidate or political party and place that sheet into the envelope. Once done, take the envelope and put it in the sealed ballot box Infront of all the embassy staff. You may discard the other sheets or take with. Note that no one is allowed to be with you or close by behind the screen under any circumstances.

From my experience (but from the CZ embassy in Asia), it is enough to come at any time during consular hours. https://www.mzv.cz/washington/cz/konzularni_informace/kontakty/ktery_zastupitelsky_urad_v_usa.html
