Germany and Austria have maintained temporary checks on their land borders, including borders with Czechia, since September 2024. Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice, so travelers are advised to check visa and border requirements before departure.
According to the official travel advice, checks affect routes between Czechia, Germany and Austria and may influence travel through these countries. People planning a move should carry documents proving their right to enter and stay and allow for possible checks during the journey. The measure is described as temporary, so its status should be checked shortly before travel. It is most relevant to people entering Czechia via Germany or Austria or crossing these borders regularly.
