Traveling outside the Czech Republic without extending protection: details
According to proukrainu.blesk.cz, after online registration, in order to extend temporary protection, you need to get a visa sticker at the Ministry of the Interior. This visit should be made before September 30, 2023, before the expiration of the temporary protection extension after registration.
First of all, Ukrainians are interested in the possibility of leaving the Czech Republic until they have a new visa sticker.
"Traveling to other Schengen countries is possible only with a valid passport and visa sticker," the statement said.
It is noted that the Czech Republic has informed other Schengen countries about the issuance of "Confirmation of electronic registration for the extension of temporary protection". However, Ukrainians are advised to check the conditions of entry into a particular country, as this confirmation does not replace a passport or visa sticker.
