90-day Schengen rule
Your 90-day visa-free stay applies to all 27 Schengen countries combined. Leaving the Czech Republic to another Schengen country doesn't reset the clock. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
Travel insurance recommended
While not mandatory for visa-free entry, medical costs in the Czech Republic can be high. A basic travel insurance policy covering at least €30,000 in medical expenses is a smart idea.
What happens at the border

Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. This starts your 90-day Schengen clock. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when leaving.
