Do I need to register my place of residence in the Czech Republic?

Yes. As an EU citizen you report your place of residence to the foreign police within 30 days of entry if you stay for longer than 30 days – unless the accommodation provider has already done so. For stays of more than three months, you can also apply to the Ministry of the Interior for a certificate of temporary residence. Have your ID and tenancy agreement ready.

What does a move from Germany to the Czech Republic cost?

The moving costs to the Czech Republic depend on the distance, volume and additional services such as a packing service; we calculate a 2-room flat to Prague differently from a house in South Bohemia. After a free survey you receive a fixed price listing all items, so that you can plan your budget.

How long does transport to the Czech Republic take?

Depending on the start and destination, the transport usually takes one day. From Berlin to Prague, the route runs via the A13 and A17 to the border and on along the D8; we usually plan a move there as a one-day transport. With larger volumes, intermediate stops or destinations in Moravia, the overall duration can be correspondingly longer.

Are my pets insured during the move to the Czech Republic?

Special regulations apply to transporting pets : you need an EU pet passport and a valid rabies vaccination. Our removal company does not offer direct animal transport, but we are happy to advise you on specialist partners. General transport insurance relates exclusively to your belongings, not to live animals.

Which documents do I need for a move to the Czech Republic?

Important documents are your ID card or passport, the tenancy agreement or deed of purchase for the new home, a list of removal goods and, if applicable, proof of vehicle ownership. For registering with the authorities, certified translations of your birth or marriage certificate may also be required. We are happy to provide you with a checklist so that you can gather all documents in good time.

Are my goods insured during transport?

Yes. We are also liable for your belongings on a move to the Czech Republic under the statutory rules of the HGB; liability is limited per cubic metre of loading space. It is best to take jewellery, cash and documents with you yourself; report visible damage at the latest on the day after delivery (§ 451f HGB). For particularly valuable furniture or electronics, additional insurance is available on request.

Can I simply take my car to the Czech Republic?

Yes, within the EU you can take your vehicle to the Czech Republic without customs. For motorways you need the electronic vignette, which is linked to the number plate and bought online. If you live in the Czech Republic permanently, re-registration at the Czech vehicle registration office is due. Also check whether your car insurance covers the change.

Does your company also offer shared loads to the Czech Republic?

Yes, for smaller volumes we offer attractive shared loads to the Czech Republic. Your belongings are transported together with other consignments, which reduces costs considerably. This option is particularly suitable for single people, students or smaller flats and is ideal if a complete lorry is not needed.

How does the viewing before the move work?

Before every move to the Czech Republic we carry out a free survey, either on site or by video call. We record the moving volume, discuss special requirements such as bulky furniture and answer open questions about formalities. Afterwards you receive a detailed fixed-price quote with no hidden costs.

What special features are there for furniture transport to the Czech Republic?

For bulky furniture or antiques, we recommend professional packing with special materials to avoid transport damage. You should also check whether your new flat in the Czech Republic has a lift or whether a furniture lift is needed. Our team plans the furniture transport individually, so that even narrow stairwells or tight access roads can be managed safely.

What if I am only planning a partial move to the Czech Republic?

We also offer flexible solutions for a partial move to the Czech Republic, for example if you are only setting up a second home. We adapt the vehicle size and staff to your individual needs and calculate transparent fixed prices even for smaller volumes. That way you only pay for the transport capacity you actually need, with no unnecessary extra costs.

Czech Republic checklist

Unsere Firma Moving to the Czech Republic: via the A13, A17 and D8 to Prague, with a packing service and assembly in your new flat.

From Berlin, a move to the Czech Republic is a manageable route: via the A13 to Dresden, on the A17 to the border and on along the D8 to Prague. As an EU member, the Czech Republic requires no customs papers for your household goods; there are no border checks on removal goods. The formalities lie at the destination: anyone staying for longer than 30 days reports their place of residence to the foreign police within 30 days, unless the landlord or accommodation provider does this. We plan your long-distance move to Prague, Brno or Pilsen down to the last detail.

From the first survey through packing to delivery in your new Czech flat, we accompany you through the entire process. After the survey we give you a fixed price; we are liable for your belongings under the statutory rules (HGB), and additional insurance is available on request. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive right to your new address. You can find more information about our services under private move.

MAXIMUM CARE

What we take on for your move to the Czech Republic

Transport from Berlin

We take care of your transport to the Czech Republic, from packing in Germany to assembly at your destination. There are no customs formalities within the EU; you handle registration with the foreign police, health insurance and re-registering your car yourself – we tell you in advance which deadline starts when. We give you the fixed price after the survey, and we are liable for your belongings under the HGB. That way you can approach your move abroad in a relaxed way. Destinations with their own page can be found in the locations overview.

Packing Service

We label boxes by room and content, so that every box ends up straight in the right room of your new flat in the Czech Republic.

Furniture assembly

Dismantling in Germany, assembly in your new flat in the Czech Republic – we plan this in advance even for older buildings in Prague with narrow stairwells.

Second home

Many people first set up a second home in the Czech Republic – often only a few pieces of furniture are needed, which we bring as a partial move.

Furniture Transport

Bulky furniture, display cabinets and antiques travel padded and secured against slipping to your new home in the Czech Republic.

MOVING TO PLAN

Our services at a glance

Before the move, draw up an inventory list of your valuables. Within the EU you do not need it for customs, but you do for insurance and in case of damage.

Reliable moving service

Loading and delivery days are fixed in writing – from Berlin, one day is usually enough for the journey to Prague in the Czech Republic.

Safe handling

You take your passport and tenancy agreement for registration with the foreign police with you yourself – they have no place in the lorry to the Czech Republic.

Clear communication

Prague has many residents' parking zones – we clarify in advance where the lorry may stop at your new address in the Czech Republic.

Structured move planning

We plan cancellations, packing dates and the journey backwards from the move-in day, so that the 30-day registration in the Czech Republic remains achievable.

Flexible support

If you first furnish only a small flat in the Czech Republic, we bring the remaining furniture later or store it in the meantime.

Ready for Prague

At the end the furniture is in place, the boxes are distributed and your mind is free for registering with the foreign police.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Little to move? Part load!

Ideal for just a few pieces of furniture

For smaller loads to the Czech Republic we offer a shared load, where your belongings travel together with other consignments. This saves costs and suits single people, small flats or a second home in Prague – with a little flexibility on the delivery day.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

From
planning to assembly

We take care of every detail

An international move raises many questions: do I need customs papers for furniture? No, not within the EU. Where do I register my place of residence in the Czech Republic? As an EU citizen, with the foreign police, within 30 days. And what applies to the car and on the motorway? The electronic vignette, and later Czech registration. In this guide and in our consultation we answer these questions about your long-distance move, so that you start well prepared.

Planning safe and relaxed

You have 30 days to register with the foreign police – but for your private move or senior move to the Czech Republic, still schedule it for the first week, together with health insurance and a bank account.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a packing service and careful furniture transport, furniture arrives safely and undamaged even in older buildings in Prague, narrow courtyards in Brno or attic flats without a lift.

Costs, timing and special cases

Route, weekday and a possible shared load determine the costs in the Czech Republic; for lorries over 3.5 t, a distance-based toll applies there instead of the vignette.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about moving to the Czech Republic

Answers about customs, the 30-day registration, cars, the vignette, costs and the survey.

None. As the Czech Republic and Germany are EU members, there is no customs declaration for a move to the Czech Republic and no obligation to present a list of removal goods. Your own list with receipts for high-value items still makes sense – for insurance and in case of damage. For the car, what counts is not customs but Czech registration later on.

Customs and formalities when moving to the Czech Republic

As an EU citizen you move to the Czech Republic without customs formalities: there is no customs declaration and no check of goods at the border for furniture and personal belongings. An inventory list is still worthwhile, for insurance and unpacking. Pets need an EU pet passport, a microchip and a valid rabies vaccination. Anyone staying for longer than 30 days reports their place of residence to the foreign police within 30 days of entry, unless the accommodation provider does this.

If you stay for longer than three months, you can apply for a certificate of temporary residence; for EU citizens it is voluntary, but often helpful in everyday life. If you are employed in the Czech Republic, your employer insures you with a Czech health insurance fund. For car journeys, the electronic vignette applies on motorways. That way you won't miss any deadline on your international move.

Costs and process of your move to the Czech Republic

The costs of a move to the Czech Republic depend on several factors: distance, moving volume, any additional services you want such as a packing service or furniture assembly, and the accessibility of the start and destination addresses. After a free survey you receive a fixed price – a binding quote with no hidden extra costs. That way you keep full control of the costs of your emigration move from the start.

The process usually looks like this: first a detailed consultation and survey, then professional packing of your household goods, transport across the border and delivery and assembly in your new flat. For longer distances we recommend our long-distance moves services, which are specially tailored to international routes.

Moving service: prices without surprises

We go for clarity instead of small print. That is why: 1-room moves from €344, 2-room moves from €579, 3-room moves from €889, 4-room moves from €1,309. A house or villa can hardly be priced at a flat rate, which is why you receive an individual quote here. For a long-distance move we charge from €3.95 per kilometre driven. Your exact price is fixed after a free survey.
