Documents for temporary protection in Czechia: what should you prepare in 2026?
The Czech Interior Ministry publishes a concrete basic package for a first application. If you have private accommodation, it is best to bring the accommodation proof physically with you; if you need state humanitarian housing, there is a separate route through KACPU Ostrava.
Short answer
The Czech Interior Ministry publishes a concrete basic package for a first application. If you have private accommodation, it is best to bring the accommodation proof physically with you; if you need state humanitarian housing, there is a separate route through KACPU Ostrava. Where to go: Ministerstvo vnitra ČR.
Where to go
Ministerstvo vnitra ČR
What to prepare
- · Passport, ID card, or another identity document — if available
- · Proof of accommodation if housing is not arranged through the state system
- · Documents proving family relationship for family members
- · Military-obligation evidence only if the current rule applies to your profile
What to do step by step
- 1
Complete the application form before travelling to KACPU
- 2
Prepare original ID/family documents and accommodation proof separately
- 3
If accommodation proof is electronically signed, do not treat a simple printed PDF as an original; check the authorised-conversion requirement
- 4
If you have no private accommodation and need state humanitarian housing, use the KACPU Ostrava route that centrally assigns this accommodation
Important
An incomplete package can delay the in-person filing, and an invalid accommodation document can force another trip.
