Travelling to the Czech Republic from Australia and New Zealand (updated 7.4.2022).

Given how quickly the situation can change, we strongly recommend checking check-in conditions with the airline you are flying with! Check-in conditions also depend on any countries you will be transiting through.

Travelling from Australia

All fully vaccinated third country nationals are currently able to travel to the Czech Republic from Australia. Australian International Vaccine Certificates are recognised in the Czech Republic. You are considered fully vaccinated if you have received your booster shot and it is reflected in your Vaccine Certificate. A Vaccine Certificate with only two doses is only considered valid for 270 days after 14 days has elapsed since you received the last dose. Your stay in the Czech Republic cannot exceed the validity of your Vaccine Certificate. Please see the table below for entry conditions.

Unvaccinated third country nationals in Australia are only able to travel to the Czech Republic for essential reasons. Exemption categories and essential reasons can be found here. Please see the table below for entry conditions.

Travelling from New Zealand

Given that New Zealand is currently considered to be a country with a low risk of transmission of COVID-19, all travellers from New Zealand are able to travel to the Czech Republic, provided they have spent at least 14 days in New Zealand and that they have not spent more than 12 hours during the last 14 days in a country other than New Zealand.

New Zealand International Vaccine Certificates are recognised in the Czech Republic.

Please see the table below for entry conditions.
