Do I need a COVID-19 test to enter the Czech Republic?
The general recommendation of the Czech Ministry of Interior Affairs is to contact the Czech embassy if the country you’re travelling from. The obligation to undergo the test depends on the aforementioned list of countries according to the health risk and that list gets updated quite a lot. If you do need to undergo the test, you also need to check whether you can get tested before you leave your country. Sometimes, Czechia doesn’t recognize the tests from other countries and you need to get the test after your arrival. You can get tested right at the airport. The authorities assure that the tests in the Prague airport run smoothly and without delays. However, the travelers speak differently – you have to queue about 4 hours if you arrive in the morning, about 8 hours in you arrive later.
The other option is to get tested in one of the authorised places outside the airport.
