Czechia: British Nationals Abroad

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements they are making for UK citizens to be able to get married in the Czech Republic after the UK has left the European Union; and what advice, if any, they provide to those who wish to do so.

Answer

​UK nationals will be able to continue to get married in the Czech Republic after the UK leaves the EU, as arrangements are in place for both EU and non-EU nationals to do so now. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is committed to ensuring that clear and accessible information is available for UK nationals living, working and travelling overseas, including in the EU. UK nationals in the Czech Republic should visit the 'UK nationals in the EU' page and Living in the Czech Republic Guides on gov.uk, and follow the Embassy social media channels for the latest information on the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The FCO provides advice to those considering getting married overseas on the 'Getting Married Abroad' pages on gov.uk.
