Reception Centers

Reception Centers serve for the accommodation of newly arrived applicants for international protection  as long as the elementary entry procedures are being completed (identification, filing application for international protection, health examinations). The reception centers provide accommodation, food, basic hygienic needs, health care, social and psychological services, and leisure time activities.

RFA MOI operates a reception center in the transit area of Václav Havel Airport Prague (external Schengen border), and  a reception center at  Zastávka (near Brno, capacity of 199 beds. Due to a short term stay of applicants, Zastávka is able to receive an increased number of persons applying for international protection.).

Facilities for the Detention of Foreigners

These facilities are designed for detention of foreigners who obtained the decision on administrative expulsion from the Immigration Police, and who must leave the Czech Republic. Foreigners are provided with accommodation, food, and other material needs; clients can use the services of social workers, leisure time activities, psychological and legal services and urgent health care. Facilities for the Detention of Foreigners are one of the pillars of an effective return policy of the Czech Republic. The point is that those foreigners who have to leave the Czech Republic because of their illegal stay are placed in these facilities and they must not leave them. At the same time, the state provides dignified conditions for their stay until they leave the country.
