Schengen Information System
The Schengen Information System (SIS) is an extensive international database which plays an important role in the protection of the Schengen area. The SIS was established as a necessary measure aimed at limiting the security risks resulting from free movement of persons and goods and it is utilized for the purposes of border checks and police and customs checks carried out within the country, in proceedings on granting visas, in issuing residence permits and in assessing the jurisdiction for asylum applications.
For information about the SIS database from the visa procedure point of view kindly access the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic or consult the booklet Schengen Information System (PDF, 687 KB).
