PROTOCOL
on visa waiver issues for citizens of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on private trips to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
The governments of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, led by an attempt to extend valid visa-free travel between the two countries on the private journeys of citizens to other relatives, friends and acquaintances, have agreed as follows:
The provisions of this Protocol shall apply:
(a) citizens of the Contracting Parties who leave for private purposes from one State to another to relatives, friends and friends
(b) relatives of citizens of one of the Contracting Parties who are temporarily present in the territory of the other Contracting Party for reasons of service and employment (students, aspirants, trainees, specialists and others).
Citizens of one Contracting Party who travel privately following an invitation from relatives, friends and acquaintances may enter, leave and stay in the territory of the other Contracting Party for a period specified in the invitation but not longer than 90 days and travel without visas to third States with which the Contracting Parties have negotiated visa waiver agreements for the private travel of citizens.
Citizens may travel for private purposes on the basis of valid documents confirming their identity and authorising a journey beyond the borders and return to the country of permanent residence, hereinafter referred to as "travel documents' and following an invitation to visit issued by the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties.
Invitation to visit the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, issued in the specified form, shall be verified in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by the Ministry of Public Order of the Union and Autonomous Republics, the Regional (City) Public Order Protection Administration and in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic by local national committees or authorities of the Ministry of Interior.
The invitation shall be drawn up in the language of the Contracting Party and shall be valid for entry into its territory for a period of 1 year from the date indicated therein.
Children who do not have, under the rules of the State in which they live, personal documents or other official documents verifying their identity shall be entered in the travel documents and an invitation from one of the parents. Children travelling unaccompanied by parents must have invitations and travel documents, issued according to the regulations in force in that State.
Citizens of one Contracting Party who live permanently in the territory of the other Contracting Party may also invite their relatives, friends and known as provided for in Article 3 of this Protocol to visit.
Under the conditions laid down in Article 3 The Protocol may also be used privately by citizens of one Contracting Party to visit their relatives who stay for at least 6 months in the territory of the other Contracting Party, such as students, aspirants, trainees, specialists and for other professional and professional reasons.
In cases of urgency (illness, death and other justified cases), citizens of the Contracting Parties may enter the territory of the other Contracting Party without a visa on the basis of travel documents and telegrams certified by the competent authorities.
Invitation of one Contracting Party, issued pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement The Protocol shall be valid for a journey if the prescribed particulars are entered on the back of the Protocol and verified by the competent authorities of the other Contracting Party.
Citizens of one Contracting Party to which the provisions of this Protocol apply may stay within the territory of the other Contracting Party for the period specified in the invitation, calculated from the date of crossing the national border.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties may, where justified, extend the period of stay in their territory, as indicated in the travel documents, to citizens of the other Contracting Party, but not longer than 90 days from the date of crossing the border; in other cases only after the agreement of the diplomatic mission or consular post. In such cases, the exit of citizens shall be governed by the rules in force in the State of residence.
Citizens of one of the Contracting Parties travelling under the terms of this Protocol may not, during their stay in the territory of the other Contracting Party, enter into employment without the prior consent of the authorities of both Parties.
A citizen of one Contracting Party who has lost his travel documents in the territory of the other Contracting Party shall notify the competent authorities of the State of residence and request a new travel document from the diplomatic mission or consular post of his State of residence and the competent authorities of the State of stay to issue a travel visa.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall inform citizens of the obligation to comply with the laws of the State to which they travel and to comply with the reporting obligation in due time when issuing travel documents authorising a visa-free journey following an invitation to visit.
Provisions of this The Protocol shall not affect the right of Contracting Parties to refuse entry or stay on their territory to undesirable persons - citizens of the other Contracting Party.
The Contracting Parties have informed each other of the valid travel documents with which citizens can travel without visas and agree to continue to inform each other of the introduction of new travel documents and of changes thereto, as well as of the forms of invitations and exchange their models.
The Parties shall inform each other, where necessary, by diplomatic or other means of compliance with this Protocol and shall take appropriate measures to ensure that it is implemented in the interests of both Parties.
This Protocol replaces the Agreement, concluded by exchange of notes between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Embassy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic on 18 December 1962.
This Protocol shall enter into force on the date of signature and shall be valid until such time as one of the Contracting Parties denies it in writing at three months' notice.
