To travel abroad, you must present a valid travel document—either a passport or an ID card, depending on your destination—and, if required, a valid visa. Every child, just like an adult, must also have a valid travel document.

Prague Airport is divided into two terminals:

• Terminal 1: For flights departing to countries outside the Schengen area.

• Terminal 2: For flights departing to countries within the Schengen area.

The necessary travel documents depend on your final destination. Before traveling, we recommend that you carefully review the entry requirements for the country you plan to visit, including whether you need a visa or other permits. Be sure to check the passport validity requirements, as some countries mandate that passports remain valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. You may be denied boarding if you fail to present the necessary visa at check-in.

Visas

Before departure, familiarize yourself with the visa regulations for your destination. In addition to the entry requirements of your destination country, you should also verify the transit requirements for any countries you will pass through, as some may require a transit visa.

Flights to the Schengen Area

The Schengen area includes all European Union member states (and their overseas territories), excluding Bulgaria, Romania, Ireland, Cyprus and Croatia. In addition, the Schengen area also includes Iceland and Norway, which are not EU members. The Schengen regime guarantees the free movement of persons. Therefore, having an ID card with you is necessary, and no other visas or permits are required.

The Schengen area does not automatically extend to all the overseas territories of member states. The Portuguese Azores, Spanish Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla exclaves in Africa are included. On the other hand, not all overseas territories of France, Norwegian Svalbard, the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland and the Faroe Islands (they are not even part of the EU), or the overseas Dutch autonomous regions of Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius are included.

Flights Outside the Schengen Area

For flights outside the Schengen area (which are checked in from Terminal 1), you must also have a valid passport with you (except for states that allow entry to their territory with an ID card only). After check-in and boarding pass control by the validator, passport control follows, with the security check being performed directly at the gate.

When travelling to certain countries, you must also have a visa that varies by the length and purpose of your stay in the given state. Always check the detailed conditions for entry to the territory of the given state before your departure at the local embassy or with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.
