Czech Interior Ministry proposes stricter benefit rules for Ukrainian refugees
A bill published on 20 May would make Ukrainian refugees spend at least 16 days per month in Czechia and limit absences from the Schengen Area to 30 days, or risk losing humanitarian payments and residency. Claimants would also have to be employed, registered at the labour office, or self-employed. The Interior Ministry says the move will curb ‘benefit tourism’; employers must watch staff travel patterns to avoid inadvertent loss of work rights.
Prague’s summer 2026 flight map grows to 183 direct destinations
Prague’s newly released summer schedule shows 183 direct routes—up by 15 year-on-year—and a 6 percent increase in seats.

The richer network boosts Prague’s attractiveness for multinationals but companies should book early and prepare staff for new visa and ETIAS requirements.
