Weapons — Czechia
What travelers need to know about weapons in Czechia. What is legal at home can be a serious crime here — each rule links to its official source.
Weapons in Czechia: allowed only under specific conditions.
Do not bring a firearm into Czechia without paperwork arranged before you travel. A non-EU foreigner may temporarily import, hold or carry a category A, B or C weapon only on the authority of a zbrojní průvodní list (firearms transit pass), obtained in advance from a Czech embassy, the Police Presidium, or a border police unit. An EU resident may instead rely on a European Firearms Pass, and EU hunters and sport shooters holding a European Firearms Pass for a category B or C weapon may transit without an additional Czech document. Hunters and sport shooters can be issued the transit pass at a border crossing on entry if they present an officially certified invitation from the hunting-ground operator or the event organiser. Military material is governed separately by Act No. 38/1994 Coll.
