Legal Obligation
Foreign Guest Reporting
(nahlašování cizinců) — know your obligations
Every accommodation provider in the Czech Republic must report foreign guests to the police. Hostivio automates the entire process from check-in to Ubyport submission.
Who must report foreign guests and by when?
Every provider accommodating foreign nationals for payment must report them to the Czech foreign police, including EU citizens and Airbnb or Booking.com guests. The deadline is three working days after arrival. Hostivio builds reports from online check-in data and sends them directly to Ubyport, manually or automatically, while flagging unreported guests.
The reporting obligation (ohlašovací povinnost) — what does the law say?
Under Czech Act No. 326/1999 Coll. on the residence of foreigners (zákon o pobytu cizinců), every accommodation provider must report the stay of every foreign national to the relevant foreign police department within 3 working days.
