The State Department’s global visa wait times for Paris continue to grow and substantial visa processing delays are expected through mid-September due to the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games and D-Day 80th anniversary celebrations.

Key Points:

The Olympics will take place in Paris from July 26 to Aug. 11 and the Paralympics will take place from Aug. 28 to Sept. 8.
Travelers are encouraged to regularly check the U.S. Embassy special events page for France before and during their stay.
The most current visa appointment wait times for the U.S. Embassy Paris can be found here .

Additional Information: Individuals applying for a U.S. visa in Paris should expect delays through at least mid-September 2024. The U.S. Embassy Paris will primarily be providing American citizen services during these events due to the embassy’s location and the increased presence of U.S. citizens in Paris.

The State Department urged travelers in need of a new passport to have their passports renewed as soon as possible if traveling to France and Europe this summer. The French government has launched a new consulate platform to help streamline the visa application process for the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. While U.S. citizens generally do not need a visa to enter France, travelers can complete a short online questionnaire to determine if they require a visa.

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to target crowds more effectively. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
Places of worship
Shopping malls and markets
Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime: The Czech Republic generally has little crime. However, you should still take precautions against becoming a victim of crime.

Emergency Medical Service: dial 155

public transportation,
the city center,
crowded areas and outdoor cafes.
Victims of sexual assault report being drugged with rohypnol and other “date rape”-type drugs .
Use caution when accepting open drinks at bars or clubs, and do not leave drinks unattended.
Pedestrian traffic violations, such as jaywalking, may be enforced in Prague’s city center. Discretionary fines up to 2000 Czech crowns (about $100) may be applied. Refusal to pay may lead to a court procedure and an even higher fine. Streetcars have the right of way over pedestrians at crosswalks.
Casinos and gaming establishments are government-regulated, but some have been affiliated with, or attracted the interest of, organized crime.
Conduct currency exchanges at reputable banks or legitimate money kiosks. Pay close attention to the exact rate offered for the amount you wish to exchange, as rates may vary widely for smaller versus larger amounts and between different exchange offices. An offer to exchange currency by an unknown person on the street is most likely a scam .
ATMs are widely available throughout major cities. Criminal organizations have used electronic “skimming” to steal card information and PIN numbers at some ATMs. Use ATMs at secure, monitored locations (commercial banks, large hotels, and the airport).
Auto thefts and break-ins are common in the Czech Republic, especially in major cities. Use parking garages and anti-theft devices. Don’t leave valuables in plain sight inside vehicles, as this significantly increases the possibility of theft.
Overcharging scams: Verify charges paid with credit card are correct before signing for purchases, keep all receipts, and check your credit card accounts online to ensure correct billing.

Demonstrations occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events.

Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent.
Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.
Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

International Financial Scams: See the Department of State and the FBI pages for information.

Victims of Crime: U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to the local police at 112 and contact the U.S. Embassy at + (420) 257-022-000. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.

Tourism: The tourism industry is generally regulated and rules regarding best practices and safety inspections are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas and activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

Ensure the security of your passport and other valuables to prevent incidents of pickpocketing or theft.
Always carry your passport. Czech Police, customs, or immigration officials can request to see your passport at any time. You may be fined if you fail to produce your passport.
Keep a copy of your passport bio data page (and pages with valid visas) in a safe place, separate from the passport itself.
Czech customs authorities enforce strict regulations concerning temporary import or export of items such as firearms, antiquities, medications, business equipment, etc. Contact the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Washington, D.C. , for further customs guidance. The U.S. Embassy cannot help clear goods through Czech customs or advise on what items can or cannot be imported to the Czech Republic.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

The sale, possession, or use of illicit drugs is against the law in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic has a strictly enforced, zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving .
Local police can require you to produce identification to establish your identity upon request and submit you to further questioning.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. If you bring them back to the United States you could be subject to fines and may have to relinquish them prior to entering the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.

LGBTI Travelers: There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTI events in Czech Republic.

See our LGBTI travel information page and section six of the Department of State’s Human Rights Report for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance : While in the Czech Republic, individuals may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what you find in the United States. The law prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in employment, education, access to health care, and the provision of other state services. The government generally enforces these provisions.

Many buses and streetcars - especially in Prague - are configured for special needs access.
72 percent of Prague’s metro stations are accessible to persons with disabilities, and work to expand barrier-free access is ongoing.
Taxi services for persons with limited mobility exist. There are several companies offering such services in Prague, and some service areas outside Prague.
Much of the center of Prague, most interesting to tourists, was built centuries ago with narrow cobblestone streets that may make accessibility difficult or impossible.
Accessibility outside of Prague is generally less available.

Students: See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:

Be aware of “date-rape” drugs .
Be cautious in bars and clubs where alcohol is served. Leaving your drink unattended or accepting a drink from a stranger can lead to serious consequences.

See our travel tips for Women Traveler s .

For emergency services in Czech Republic, dial 112.

Prague has adequate Western-style medical clinics with English-speaking doctors and dentists, but its system is organized differently than in the United States. Though central emergency rooms exist in most hospitals, patients are often sent to a specialty clinic to treat specific medical conditions. Family practices like those in the United States are mostly in larger cities.

All major hospitals accept credit cards or cash as a method of payment. Private specialists usually expect cash , though some private facilities accept credit cards.

In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. Ambulance services are on par with those in the United States. Response time is usually less than 15 minutes. Ambulance companies generally expect payment at the time of service.

Ambulance services are widely available.

We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance: Generally, patients who have overseas insurance coverage should expect to pay the bill at the time services are rendered and then seek reimbursement from their insurance company. Contact your health insurance company directly to find out if your policy includes overseas coverage. Many care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance coverage overseas. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the Czech Ministry of Health to ensure the medication is legal in the Czech Republic.

Vaccinations: Be up to date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Air Quality: Visit AirNow Department of State for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of doctors and hospitals on its website . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

Health facilities in general:

Adequate health facilities are available throughout the country but health care in rural areas may be below U.S. standards.
Hospitals and doctors often require payment “up front” prior to service or admission, either in cash or by credit card.
Private hospitals usually require advance payment or proof of adequate insurance before admitting a patient.
Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.

Medical Tourism and Elective Surgery

Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry. People seeking health care overseas should understand that medical systems operate differently from those in the United States and are not subject to the same rules and regulations. Anyone interested in traveling for medical purposes should consult with their local physician before traveling and visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for for information on Medical Tourism, the risks of medical tourism, and what you can do to prepare before traveling to the Czech Republic.
We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation in the event of unforeseen medical complications.
Your legal options in case of malpractice are very limited in the Czech Republic.
Although the Czech Republic has many elective/cosmetic surgery facilities that are on par with those found in the United States, the quality of care varies widely. If you plan to undergo surgery in the Czech Republic, make sure that emergency medical facilities are available, and professionals are accredited and qualified.

Pharmaceuticals

U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for rules governing the transport of medication back to the United States. Medication purchased abroad must meet their requirements to be legally brought back into the United States. Medication should be for personal use and must be approved for usage in the United States. Please visit the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration websites for more information.
Additionally, see the Czech Embassy’s restricted medication section on its website before traveling with medication.

Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy

If you are considering traveling to the Czech Republic to have a child through the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) or surrogacy, please see our ART and Surrogacy Abroad page .
The Czech Republic neither legalizes, regulates, nor prohibits couples to apply and perform surrogacy treatments. According to current legislation, assisted reproduction therapy permits heterosexual couples to apply but at present restricts single women or homosexual couples to apply for assisted reproduction.
If you decide to pursue parenthood in the Czech Republic via assisted reproductive technology (ART) with a gestational mother, be prepared for long and unexpected delays in documenting your child’s citizenship. Be aware that individuals who attempt to circumvent local law risk criminal prosecution.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:

We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the traffic laws of the Czech Republic to avoid fines, detention, or potential imprisonment.
On two-lane roads and in small towns, drivers will encounter uneven surfaces, roads in poor condition, irregular lane markings, and unclear sign placements.
Pay special attention when driving on cobblestones and among streetcars in historic city centers, especially in wet or icy conditions.

Traffic Laws:

To drive in the Czech Republic, visitors must have an International Driving Permit (IDP), available from AAA in the United States, to accompany a U.S. driver’s license. Failure to have an IDP with a valid license may result in an additional fine if stopped for a traffic offense, or denial of an insurance claim after an accident.
All private cars , including those of foreign visitors, must carry additional safety gear, including reflective jackets, warning triangles, and a first aid kit. These can be purchased at any gas station or large supermarket.
In the case of a traffic accident or breakdown on the highway, make sure that you use the warning triangle, placing it at least 100 meters before the car on a highway and 50 meters on other roads. For all accidents, call the Police at 158, or Emergency Services at 112. For general roadside assistance call Road Traffic Assistance (UAMK) at phone number 1240 . UAMK operates 24 hours a day and can be called from highway telephones, located every two kilometers alongside the road.
Czech law requires all passengers and occupants of private vehicles to use seatbelts.
There is a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence of alcohol . Police can use breathalyzers on drivers stopped for any reason. Driving with any detected alcohol in the body, however slight, is illegal and usually leads to immediate fines and possible criminal proceedings.
Czech law requires the use of headlights at all times.
A toll sticker is required for all cars to drive legally on major highways . For more information, visit the official Czech highway toll website.
In the Czech Republic , winter tires are obligatory from November 1st to March 31st, if there are wintery weather conditions, or if such conditions are to be expected during your drive.
Using hand-held cell phones while driving is prohibited .
Streetcars always have the right of way over other vehicles and pedestrians, including at crosswalks.

Public Transportation: Public transportation in the Czech Republic is generally very good. There are extensive intercity train and bus networks, and larger cities have high-quality urban mass transit systems. Information on tickets and pricing within Prague can be found here .

Passengers on public transportation must buy a ticket prior to boarding and validate it upon boarding to avoid being fined. Tickets must be validated by inserting it into a validator found inside trams and buses and in the entry halls of Metro stations.
In Prague, tickets can be purchased at newspaper stands, post offices, and from vending machines at all metro stations and at major tram stops. Tickets can also be purchased by text message on a mobile phone on a Czech network, but the traveler must have received the reply message with the ticket before entering a tram, bus, or metro station. Most newer trams also allow passengers to purchase tickets onboard.
Travelers may encounter plain-clothes ticket inspectors wearing small metal badges with “Přepravní Kontrola” on them at any time. Fines for failure to have a validated ticket range from 50 to 1500 CZK. In Prague, the usual fine is 800 CZK if paid on the spot or within 15 days. Inspectors should provide a receipt for on-the-spot payments.
Trams always have the right of way over pedestrians, including at crosswalks.
Legitimate taxis are clearly marked, and the Embassy strongly recommends calling for a taxi rather than hailing one on the street. If calling is not possible, visitors should get taxis at clearly marked “Fair Place” stands . The potential for substantial overcharging in taxis exists, particularly in tourist areas. Agree on a price in advance or ensure the driver is using the meter . Ridesharing and mobile taxi apps, such as Uber and Liftago, are prevalent in Prague and in most major cities.

See our Road Safety page for more information. Visit the website of the Czech Republic’s national tourist office and the Ministry of Transport .

Indians will soon be able to travel to Russia visa-free, Moscow expects 30% surge in Indian tourists

E vgeny Kozlov, Moscow's first deputy head of the office of the mayor and the government, is optimistic about a notable surge in Indian tourist arrivals to the city. This positivity stems from ongoing negotiations between India and Russia for a new visa-free group travel agreement.

In a discussion with Economic Times, Kozlov, also serving as the chairman of Moscow City Tourism Committee, mentioned that this agreement is poised to elevate Indian tourist footfall in Moscow by a minimum of 30%.

Furthermore, Russian federal authorities are actively working on a project to issue virtual cards to Indian travelers prior to their departure from India.

"The issue of non-cash payments for travellers in Russia is a key point for our federal government. My federal partners are working on a project to enable virtual cards for Indian travellers while they are in India before coming to Russia," Kozlove told ET.

He elaborated that travelers may potentially obtain virtual cards through an Indian bank prior to their journey to Russia. Upon reaching their hotel in Moscow, they would receive a physical card from a Russian banking partner. This virtual card system is slated to be operational by year-end.

In 2023, Moscow emerged as one of the premier tourist destinations, hosting 2.3 million visitors. Notably, the influx of Indian travelers surpassed 60,000, marking a 25% increase from the previous year.

Kozlov emphasized that Indians rank among Moscow's priority foreign tourists. To bolster this trend, the city is emphasizing the development of event tourism, a key component of the Moscow Tourism Development Program until 2030. Projections indicate that event tourism will draw around 7.3 million visitors to Moscow, with a significant portion expected to originate from India.

At present, the leading tourist markets for Moscow include India, China, Turkey, and the UAE, with Indians ranking among the top five nationalities utilizing the e-visa system to explore the city.
