When you are applying for a business visa, the Czech Consulate will evaluate your qualifications and decide if you qualify to obtain a business visa for Czech Republic. The Czech Embassy reviews your application and decides whether or not you will qualify for a business visa.

Business Visas allow nationals of foreign countries to visit the Czech Republic for business purposes with a maximum stay of up to one year. If you are planning a business trip or travel to The Czech Republic for at least 30 days, you have every reason to think about applying for a visa.

The Czech Republic Visa Application Requirements

Depending on the purpose of your travel to the Czech Republic, there are different types of visas that will apply to the occasion.

Whether you are planning to go on a visit, study or work and reside in the Czech Republic permanently, you will have to apply for a different Schengen Visa, accordingly.

You can apply for the Czech Republic Schengen Visa since 2007 when the Czech Republic as an EU Member State also became a member state of the Schengen Area.

Czech Republic Entry Restrictions in Response to Coronavirus

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the Czech Republic, as well as the rest of the EU and Schengen Area members imposed an EU-wide entry ban on third-country nationals in mid-March 2020. With the improved epidemiological situation in the EU and abroad, the Czech Republic has lifted the entry ban for a few third countries and several categories of travellers.
