Czechia visa for British citizens

Czech citizens planning a trip to the United Kingdom will now require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure, a significant shift from previous EU travel freedoms. This streamlined process allows for a maximum stay of 180 days under the single available tourist visa type, facilitating visits for leisure or short business trips. While the transition means a new step for travelers accustomed to free movement, frequent direct flights from Prague to London remain readily available, typically taking just under two hours. Upon arrival, remember to adjust your watch by one hour for the time zone difference and be prepared to use British Pounds Sterling, distinct from the Czech Koruna.
