Citizens from Outside the EU 🌐

  • They can use their original driving license for one year from the date of arrival.
  • After one year or upon obtaining permanent residency, they must exchange their license for a Czech one.

  • Proof of Habitual Residence: Foreigners must provide proof of habitual residence in the Czech Republic.
  • Doctor’s Certificate: A valid medical certificate is required.
  • Documentation: Other required documents include the original driving license and an ID card.
