3 Easy Steps to obtaining Czech-republic e-Visa

If you do not satisfy the requirements for applying ETA online, please apply through a travel agent, airline, or a Czech-republic visa office. If you are not available for an ETA VISA, you can still apply for another electronic visiting visa.

It is important that you are very careful when you enter your personal details. You will have an opportunity to review all the details you have provided and can change the details at any time until you confirm all details as correct.

If you have made an error, it is important that you correct it before proceeding. Once you have confirmed the details, your credit card will be debited for the non-refundable service charge.

If you find out later that you have made a mistake, you will need to make a new application (and incur another service charge). We cannot change the details on an ETA once it has been issued.

Note: If your ETA details do not match your passport details you might experience delays when boarding your aircraft or be refused entry into Czech republic.

No. You do not need to arrange your transportation into the country before applying for an ETA. Whether you are traveling by boat or plane, it’s okay to apply for your ETA anytime before or after your confirmed ticket.

Typically, a visa takes anywhere from 2 days to 15+ days to process in the Czech Republic Embassy/Consulate depending on the consulate that we need to send the application. The processing time for a visa is dependent on several factors and can change without notice at the consulate’s discretion. Please refer to our service selection page for the most up-to-date processing times for Czech Republic visas.

A passport is an official government document that certifies one’s identity and citizenship.  The passport serves two purposes; to regain entry to the country of citizenship (i.e. the United States) and is a requirement by many countries to gain entry to the country you are visiting. A Czech Republic visa is an official government document that temporarily authorizes you to be in the country.  Many countries require a visa to gain entry.  The Czech Republic visa is in the form of a stamp/sticker IN the passport and is obtained from a Czech Republic Embassy in Washington DC or consulates around the country.  We have staff spread around the country to hand carry your application for you and then overnight the passport back when it is completed.
