If you are travelling to the Czech Republic transporting a firearm and/or ammunition (eg in order to participate in a hunt or a shooting competition), a valid Czech Firearms Transit Permit (FTP) must be presented to the Czech Immigration Officer at the border. To apply for a Czech FTP, the applicants living within the jurisdiction of our Consulate may submit their application at our office in Los Angeles in person on basis of a pre-scheduled appointment. FTP will be issued within 30 days upon the submission of a complete application.

All the applicants are requested to have a previously scheduled appointment without any exception to this rule! 
Appointments must be scheduled by email only at losangeles@embassy.mzv.cz
