Czech Republic Visa RequirementsFor Cyprus passport holders
Cypriot citizens do not need a visa for the Czech Republic. Both are EU member states, and Cypriots enjoy full freedom of movement. The Czech Republic is a Schengen member, so travel from Cyprus (non-Schengen) will involve a passport check at the border.
Great news! Cyprus passport holders can enter Czech Republic without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No visa required. Travel with a valid Cypriot passport or national ID card. For stays beyond 3 months, EU citizens should register with Czech local authorities.

Current Travel Situation
Cyprus to Czech Republic: What You Need to Know
The Czech Republic is a founding member of the Schengen Area and a fellow EU member state. While Cyprus is not in Schengen, Cypriot citizens as EU nationals have the right to enter and stay in all EU and Schengen countries without a visa. Prague is one of Europe's most popular city break destinations.
How to Get There
No alternative visa category is required for Cypriot EU citizens.
Money & Banking
Cyprus uses the Euro (EUR). The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK). Currency exchange is widely available. ATMs dispense CZK. Inform your bank before travel. Cards are increasingly accepted in Prague.
Practical Tips
Prague is one of Europe's best-preserved historic cities. The Prague Card provides unlimited public transport and museum entry. The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK), not the Euro, so currency exchange is needed. Most tourist areas accept cards, but cash is useful. Beer culture is significant in the Czech Republic and Prague has excellent craft beer bars. Winters can be cold (-5 to 5 degrees Celsius); summers are warm and pleasant.
