The Czechoslovak passport was issued to citizens of Czechoslovakia for international travel. After Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the two countries have issued their own passports.

History

Czechoslovakian passport holders were required to obtain an exit visa from the authorities starting February 23rd, 1948. In the summer of 1948, the directive was temporarily suspended[1]; However, the 1949 Act No. 194 on Czechoslovakian State Citizenship[2] abruptly invalidated all passports previously issued on November 30th, 1949.

Travelling outside of the Eastern Bloc became an impossibility as Czechoslovak identity cards were only valid for travel inside the Iron Curtain and obtaining a passport through legitimate means was practically impossible. The 1965 Act No. 63 on Passports, however, liberalized requirements. Even two years prior, Czechoslovak citizens had already been given the official go-ahead to visit relatives living in the West.[3]
