Measures
Czechoslovak National Banks
on the export, import and transit of travellers' tender.
According to § 12 and § 27, § 2 of the Foreign Exchange Act, the National Bank of Czechoslovakia provides:
A. Travel abroad.
(1) A foreign seal may be exported to a foreign passport without the permission of the National Bank to a maximum value of 500 CZK per month in domestic or foreign currency tender (Section 3 of the Foreign Exchange Act). However, only coins may be exported from domestic money and not more than 50 crowns of paper.
(2) A foreign seal must not be exported without the authorisation of the National Bank for Consumption in States with which a specific payment agreement is negotiated.
(3) Foreign exchange currency allocated to foreign exchange residents for travel abroad must in any case be entered in the "Valut Allocation Record" attached to the passenger's passport. The institution or undertaking shall be obliged to satisfy itself at the second and each subsequent allocation whether, after the previous allocation, the journey to the foreign country has been effected and if it has not been realised whether the allotted tender has been returned. If a defect is detected, it will deny the allocation and notify the case immediately to the National Bank.
(4) If the foreign exchange seal exports domestic currency, it will write the balanced amount itself into the "Valut Allocation Log." In case of impossibility to obtain a "Valut Allocation Record", the passenger can record the tender exported within the free border on the last free page of the passport.
(5) The "Valut allocation record" form, issued by the National Bank, is an integral part of the foreign exchange domestic passport; it may be received with a foreign exchange bank or other authorised undertaking or, where necessary, with a border control authority. The Devis Bank or any other authorised undertaking or border control authority shall complete the heading "Valut Allocation Log 'and attach it to the inside of the back of the passport; on the non-glued part of the back plate shall indicate" Valute allocation record issued on.......' and shall affix the registration to the company, after an official stamp and signature, so that the part of the stamp is also printed on the language of the record. Only the Czechoslovak National Bank, the Foreign Exchange Department, in Prague and its Regional Institute for Slovakia in Bratislava, is published by the Duplicates of the Valut Allocation.
(6) No foreign travel tickets (rail, ship, air, etc.) may be sold to Devis's domestic without the permission of the National Bank.
(7) A foreign seal who has not taken a journey abroad is obliged to take out foreign currency, allocated within the free border, within 30 days of the date of the allocation and foreign currency, allocated under the National Bank's authorisation, within 10 days of the expiry of the authorisation (Section 8 of the Foreign Exchange Act). It is within the same time limits to return unused tickets abroad.
(1) A foreign national may export to a foreign country without the permission of the National Bank a maximum of 500 CZK per month in domestic coins and paper money in a maximum of 50 koruna. However, if it proves to the border control authority that it has imported foreign currency into the Czechoslovak Republic, it may re-export them within three months of issuing the certificate without the permission of the National Bank.
(2) Cheques and credentials (letters of credit) issued abroad may, if issued in its name, be returned to abroad at any time without the permission of the National Bank.
(3) The allocation to foreign exchange strangers of any foreign currency without the permission of the National Bank is prohibited.
(4) Foreign nationals may not be sold for domestic currency to any foreign travel ticket (rail, ship, air, etc.) without the permission of the National Bank. For foreign currency, which the National Bank will determine in its directives and which foreign exchange alien imported under the "Validation of the import of currency" can be sold to foreign exchange foreigners any ticket at any location. The ticket shop is obliged to mark accepted foreign currency on the back of the "Certificate of import of tender."
Tourists who cross borders with a cruise certificate, a tourist pass or other similar document entitled to cross borders may export 50 CZK per day but no more than 500 CZK per month in domestic coins and paper money to 50 CZK or in foreign currency in the State whose borders they cross. The same applies to participants in mass trips crossing a border with a common passport or other common travel document.
(1) Persons resident in the border zone may, without the permission of the National Bank, export to a border card (pass) per person the value of 50 KCs per day, but not more than 500 KCs per month in national coins and paper money in no more than fifty crowns or in foreign currency in the State whose borders they cross.
(2) The amount exported pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be entered in the "Border record of the exported tender" by the foreign exchange bank or other authorised undertaking or party itself, if no allocation is required. The form of this alert, issued by the National Bank, may be obtained from a foreign exchange bank or other authorised undertaking or, where necessary, from a border control authority. A duly completed record shall be submitted to the control border authority before the first use for the export of tender to verify the accuracy of the data.
(1) If this measure allows the export of tender without the permission of the National Bank (i.e. the free border), foreign exchange banks and other authorised undertakings may allocate foreign exchange tender to foreign exchange residents within the free border without the permission of the National Bank.
(2) If the tender amounts to more than the free limit for each individual case, the authorisation of the National Bank for the full amount exported shall be required.
B. Journey from abroad to domestic.
(1) A foreign seal may, in travel, import foreign and domestic currency, with the exception of domestic money, which may not exceed 500 CZK per month in coins or paper money in no more than 50 kroner, provided that all imported currency is declared to the border control authority.
(2) A foreign national may not, in the course of travel, import from a foreign country other than foreign and domestic currency (money, cheques, bills, vouchers, credentials, and other payment orders) than those which are registered by the border inspection authority and which is endorsed on the official form "Validation of the import of the tender." The "Confirmation of the import of tender" is also written in hotel bons and hotel vouchers for stay in the Czechoslovak Republic. From domestic money may not be imported and not be confirmed by more than 500 CZK per month in coins or paper money in a maximum of fifty crowns. Imported tender, which, although declared by a foreign exchange outsider but not accepted, may not be released into the country; the foreign exchange alien must submit them to the custody of the border inspection authority for a receipt and pick them up on the return trip or give them to the addressee abroad to whom the tender is to be sent in valuable writing for the expense and danger of the traveller. These consignments, submitted by the border inspection authority for postal transport, do not require the authorisation of the National Bank.
(3) A foreign national may, without the permission of the National Bank, cover the costs of his stay in the country only from imported or foreign currency. The exchange of payments of cheques and letters of credit, as well as all the amounts paid to him or to him in the country with the permission of the National Bank, must be endorsed by the Money Institute on the back of the "Validation of Import of Payables." If, exceptionally, foreign tender is paid in a hotel or elsewhere, it must be endorsed by the following "Confirmation of import of tender" stamp and signature of the beneficiary.
(4) When leaving the Czechoslovak Republic, the foreign exchange alien is obliged to hand over to the border inspection authority "Confirmation of import of tender," on the reverse of which the difference between the amount of foreign currency imported and exported will be duly indicated.
(1) If the foreign exchange alien imports domestic money into the Czechoslovak Republic without the permission of the National Bank in excess of the free limit or in values above 50 Kčs, he must hand it over to the border control authority for confirmation and pick it up on a return trip or to denounce the addressee abroad to whom the tender is to be sent in valuable writing for the expenses and danger of the traveller. These consignments, submitted by the border inspection authority for postal transport, do not require the authorisation of the National Bank.
(2) If the foreign exchange pencil is imported into the Czechoslovak Republic without the permission of the National Bank for domestic money in excess of the free limit or in values above 50 Kčs, it must be handed over to the border control authority which will send it to the Postal Savings Bank in Prague or Bratislava according to whether the passengers are resident in the Czech and Moravian-Silesian countries or Slovakia. The postal savings bank will credit this money for the benefit of the passenger to the interest-free "Bound account of domestic money received from abroad." This money can only be handled with the permission of the National Bank.
(1) Tourists, crossing the border with a travel certificate, a tourist pass or other similar document authorising border crossing, may enter domestic money per day of 50 CZK, but not more than 500 CZK per month in national coins or paper money in a maximum of 50 CZK.
(2) Persons residing in the border zone may, without the permission of the National Bank, enter the national card (pass) in domestic money for a day of 50 CZK, but not more than 500 CZK per person per month in coins or paper money for a maximum of 50 CZK.
(3) Article 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
C. Cash flow.
