The State of Emergency and Foreigners in the Czech Republic

Are you a foreigner and your Czech visa is about to expire? Access to the immigration authorities – such as the Ministry of Interior or the Foreign Police – is currently very limited as a consequence of the state of emergency announced due to the Covid-19 situation. The Ministry invites you to use non-personal forms of contact with the local branch offices where attendance in-person is not required by law.
