Passport validity: The Schengen Borders Code requires a third-country national's travel document to be valid at least three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the Member States and to have been issued within the previous 10 years. The Czech Foreign Ministry also asks visa applicants for a passport with at least 2 empty pages.
Blank passport pages: At least 2 blank passport pages.
Travel insurance: Schengen visa applicants need travel medical insurance valid throughout the territory of the Member States for the entire intended stay, with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 (Visa Code, Article 15).
Return or onward ticket: The Czech Foreign Ministry asks Schengen visa applicants for supporting documents on accommodation and a document proving intention to leave Schengen (mostly an air ticket reservation or other reservation, plus proof of ties and integration in the home country). The UK government tells British visitors that at Czech border control they may need to show a return or onward ticket.
