Long-term parking permits are available to individuals and businesses that can demonstrate a relationship to the specific area (municipal district) and to the vehicle.

In particular, permits can be obtained by:

Residents

Czech citizens with permanent residence in the given area (municipal district)
foreign nationals with registered residence in the given area (for those from outside the EU, a valid residence permit is also required)

Please note: For Czech citizens, mere residence (for example under a lease agreement) does not qualify one for a long-term parking permit.

Subscribers

legal entities or self-employed individuals (OSVČ) with their registered office or place of business (branch) in the given district
legal entities or self-employed individuals carrying out contracted work in the district (supported by a contract)
legal entities or self-employed individuals who own a property in the district that is recorded in the Land Register

Property owners

natural persons who own a property in the district that is recorded in the Land Register

Additional requirement:

In order to obtain a long-term parking permit, it is necessary to demonstrate a relationship to the vehicle (e.g. ownership, leasing, financing or rental).

Please note: The examples provided are based on the most frequently asked questions. You can find a complete overview of the types of parking permit and conditions for obtaining them under Methodology.

How long can a parking permit be purchased for and how much does it cost?

A long-term parking permit can be issued for a maximum of 1 calendar year.

Duration by permit type:

Resident parking permit (incl. ZTP/Senior)
- at least 3 months, at most 1 year (variants: 3-month, 6-month, year)
Subscriber (incl. property owners)
- at least 1 week, at most 1 year (variants: week, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, year)

The price of a parking permit depends primarily on:

the type of permit (resident, subscriber, etc.)
the areas for which the permit is issued
the number of vehicles with a parking permit in the area (municipal district, i.e. multiple vehicles = higher price)
eligibility for discounts (e.g. ZTP holders, seniors, zero-emission vehicles)

What is a “parking area” and how do I set it?

The parking area determines where exactly you can park with a parking permit.Within the selected area, you have unrestricted parking in blue (residential) and purple (mixed) zones.

Each parking area has its own code (e.g. P5 for Prague 5), which is also displayed on parking signs.

In some locations it is also possible to choose a parking sub-area – a smaller section of the area. A sub-area permit costs less, but is only valid within its confines (e.g. P5.4).

The following applies:

a permit for a whole area (e.g. P5) allows one to park in all the sub-areas
a permit for a sub-area is only valid for that particular section of the area

Parking areas may partially overlap. In overlapping sections, permit holders for any of the areas indicated on the signage may park there.

When applying for a parking permit in the Client Zone, the available areas are shown automatically based on the address entered. The system thus only displays areas for which you are eligible.

Displaying an area on the map You can display a (sub-)area on the map on the parking.praha.eu website by selecting “Highlight parking area”. The selected area will be displayed with a colour border, including the specific streets.

What is an “eligibility area”?

The eligibility area determines which parking area you can apply for a parking permit for.The system determines it automatically based on where your permanent residence, registered office or place of business is located.

Put simply:The eligibility area determines which parking areas you are eligible for and which you can choose from when submitting an application.

Eligibility areas:

have the same code as the corresponding parking area (e.g. P6)
tend to be larger than the parking area itself, often including the whole municipal district

In some locations it is only possible to apply for a permit for a parking sub-area. In such a case, there is also a corresponding eligibility sub-area that dictates that you can only apply for a permit for this particular section of the area.

Eligibility areas may partially overlap. If your address falls within the overlap of multiple eligibility areas, you can choose which area suits you better when submitting your application.

When applying for a parking permit in the Client Zone, the eligibility areas are shown automatically based on the address entered. The system thus only displays areas for which you are eligible.

Displaying an eligibility area on the map You can display a selected eligibility area on the map on the parking.praha.eu website by selecting “Highlight residential area”. The area will be displayed with a green border, including the specific streets.

How do I apply for a parking permit in person?
