Czechia Visa Information

Visitor & Tourism Visa Options for Traveling to Czechia

Czechia, also known as the Czech Republic, is a beloved European destination admired for its medieval architecture, vibrant cultural festivals, and picturesque landscapes. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for short tourist stays, especially those under the Schengen visa-exempt list, making it easy to explore cities like Prague, Brno, and Český Krumlov.

For travelers who require authorization, Czechia offers a Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C), which permits stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, leisure, or family visits. Applicants usually need a valid passport, proof of accommodation, travel insurance, financial documentation, and a confirmed return or onward ticket.

Those planning to stay longer than the standard tourist limit can apply for Long-Stay Visas or Residence Permits for purposes such as study, work, or family reunification. These options allow visitors to experience Czech life beyond a short holiday and enjoy deeper cultural or professional opportunities.
