How this tool works

No visa. German citizens can enter Czechia with a passport or a national ID card.

Czechia is an EU and Schengen member, so German citizens cross without a visa. The German Foreign Office lists a passport, a provisional passport, an ID card, a provisional ID card and a child passport as valid entry documents, valid until the end of the trip. It also states that internal border controls are currently carried out on the German-Czech land border.
