Remarks:

*If you already have a British Travel Document /blue one/ issued under the 1951 Geneva Convention, it may say on page 30 that you do not need a visa for visits of three months or less to a number of listed countries. Czech Republic might be listed.

Nevertheless the UK had in 2003 denounced the Council of Europe Agreement on the abolition of visas for refugees (1959) and since then Czechia does not allow holders of this travel document to enter Czech Republic without a visa. However, UK continues to issue this travel documents with a text indicating that applicants may enter Czech Republic without holding a visa which is not true.

The UK Border Agency informed on its website as follows:

"When you have obtained your convention travel document, you may also need to obtain a visa before you enter some countries. Before making any travel arrangements, you should ask at the embassy of the country or countries you wish to travel to.

If you already have a convention travel document, it may say on page 30 that you do not need a visa for visits of three months or less to a number of listed countries.
