Ashya King left Malaga hospital in an ambulance earlier
Brain tumour patient Ashya King has arrived in the Czech Republic ahead of planned proton beam treatment.
The five-year-old left hospital in Malaga, Spain, in an ambulance before being flown by private jet.
Parents Brett and Naghemeh King removed Ashya from Southampton General Hospital on 28 August after disagreeing with doctors about his treatment.
Mr King will meet with doctors at the Proton Therapy Centre in Prague later to discuss treatment options.
The centre said that documentation from the hospital in Malaga was reviewed before Ashya could travel.
The therapy centre said an expert panel of physicians met earlier to discuss transportation details and additional treatment needed according to Ashya's current health.
Major surgery
Vladimir Vondracek, from the centre, said: "We will be targeting just the whole brain in the first phase and the spinal cord.
"The second phase will be targeting the back of the tumour which was removed by surgery."

Jenny Hill visited the Proton Therapy Centre in Prague where Ashya King will receive treatment
The treatment Ashya is due to receive in Prague is a type of radiation therapy that uses beams of protons - or small parts of atoms - rather than high energy X-rays, as with conventional radiotherapy.
The protons can be directed at a tumour more precisely than X-rays and unlike conventional treatments the beams stop once they hit the target, rather than carrying on through the body.

As the latest plane load of holidaymakers touched down on the coast of the Costa del Sol, one British family which has been so desperate to leave finally got their wish.
At 09:40 (local time) the private plane carrying Ashya King and his parents soared into the bright morning sunshine, destined for Prague.
The family's stay in Spain has now ended, but their arrival in the Czech Republic will be marked with equally strong interest.
This has been a story of medical disagreement, courtroom wrangling and impassioned public debate all played out across international borders.
But at its heart is a seriously ill little boy and his ongoing fight to beat cancer.
Ashya previously had major surgery to successfully remove a brain tumour on 24 July and a further operation on his brain on 22 August.
As a result of these procedures he was unable to speak, eat or drink on his own, and relied on a food pump.
Following his disappearance from Southampton Hospital, Hampshire Constabulary obtained a European arrest warrant on the grounds the Kings had neglected their son.
The couple were arrested in Spain and spent several days in custody.
But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) later withdrew the warrant and they were freed.
Ashya was also made a ward of court after an application was made by Portsmouth City Council - but a judge has ruled the wardship will be discharged when Ashya reaches the clinic in Prague.
Ashya King's legal status- Portsmouth City Council made the request for a temporary wardship order on 29 August, following a request from Southampton General Hospital and Hampshire Constabulary, while Ashya's whereabouts were unknown
- The order specifically related to Ashya's medical care and required him to be taken to the nearest appropriate hospital
- Following a hearing on 2 September the case was adjourned to allow the parents to put forward their proposals for Ashya's treatment
- He remains a ward of court but at a High Court hearing on Friday, Mr Justice Baker ruled that "upon his arrival at University Hospital Motol, the wardship shall be discharged and Ashya shall cease to be a ward of court"
- Technically, if there is a dispute between the parents and the medical authorities as to the right course of treatment, the court will make the decision
- If the two sides are in agreement, the court will endorse that agreement to allow treatment to begin
