Rules for entry and return to the Czech Republic for travels exceeding 12 Hours

A person is considered as fully vaccinated (= at least 14 days after administration of
a second dose, in case of a two-phased vaccine) with one of the EU approved vaccines: AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria), Moderna (Spikevax), Pfizer BionTech (Comirnaty), Johnson&Johnson (Janssen), Covishield.

In order to be allowed entry as a fully vaccinated person, you will be required to present a National Vaccination Certificate - VatCertPH or Yellow Card. The date of the last vaccine dose must not be older than 270 days. In case you have already received a booster shot, this condition (270 days limit) does not apply and the validity of your Vaccination certificate is unlimited.

Sinovac is NOT approved even with a booster shot. Foreigners vaccinated with any other vaccine (e.g. Sinovac) are considered as un-vaccinated persons. Such status is not changed by accepting a booster dose by the EU recognized vaccine.
