Visa / Entry formalities EU citizens can stay or visit the Czech
Republic indefinitely and without the need of a visa. Citizens of the
USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia can stay for up to 90 days with
a passport. Those requiring a visa to visit the Czech Republic must
have a passport valid for at least three months longer than the
validity of the visa and a return or onward ticket (but usually not
checked).Countries with the Visa Waiver Regime (for ordinary passport
holders) – If you are in this group you can travel to the Czech
Republic without the need of a visa for a certain period. If you hold
a Government or diplomatic passport there might be different
requirements so it is advisable that you contact your nearest Czech
embassy for further information. If you are not subject to the Visa
Waiver Regime you need to apply for a Schengen visa (Application for
Schengen Visa). Processing time for issuing tourist Schengen visas
varies and it can take up to 30 days. In general Czech authorities are
quite slow so it is in your own interest to apply well in advance.
Information on how to apply for a visa and other information can be
found at the official website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
