Your Excellency,
I have the honor To inform you that with the intention of promoting cooperation between Sweden and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic on the basis of commitments under the Final Act and other relevant documents of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and in order to facilitate travel between Sweden and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Swedish Government is prepared to negotiate an agreement with the Government of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic in accordance with the following conditions:
Agreement between Sweden and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic on the visa waiver
Swedish citizens, holders of valid Swedish passports, may travel freely to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic through any border crossing for international travel and residence in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic without visas for a period not exceeding three months.
Czechoslovak citizens, holders of valid Czechoslovak passports, can travel freely to Sweden through any border crossing for international travel and stay without visas in Sweden for a period not exceeding three months. This period shall be calculated from the date of entry into the territory of one of the Nordic States which is a Contracting Party to the Convention of 12 July 1957 on the waiver of passport control between the Nordic States. Any stay in one of those States during the six months preceding the entry into the territory of one of those States from a non-Norwegian State shall be counted against the abovementioned period of three months.
The visa waiver shall not exempt persons covered by this Agreement from the need to comply with applicable laws and regulations of the competent State concerning entry, residence, temporary or permanent employment.
The authorities of both States reserve the right to refuse entry or residence permits in the State to undesirable persons.
The authorities of each State undertake to take back without delay to their territory every citizen.
Each Contracting Party may temporarily suspend the implementation of the previous provisions as a whole or in part, with the exception of Article 5, for reasons of public policy. Such suspension shall be notified immediately to the other Contracting Party by diplomatic means.
This Agreement shall enter into force on 1 August 1990. The Agreement may be denounced in writing by one of the Contracting Parties, the denunciation shall take effect one month from the date of its notification.
If the above proposals are acceptable to the Government of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, I have the honour to propose that this note and your Excellency's reply form an agreement between the two parties in this area.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.
