Visa Information
The Embassy endeavors to expeditiously issue visas to Czech citizens desirous of visiting India for purposes of business and tourism. Visa applications are received between 0915 - 1200 hrs. Our visa processing time does take into account Czech visa issue practices. Certain categories of visas, such as for research and employment, require reference to India and naturally, there is a longer processing period.
The Embassy accepts applications from such nationals, who are required to fill the same form as Czech nationals. However, reference to their home country is a mandatory requirement. Visa fees are charged on reciprocal basis and details may be ascertained directly from the Consular Assistant
Registration requirement for all foreigners:
Registration with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office required within 14 days of arrival in India for visas valid for more than 180 days. Failure to do so will entail payment of penal fee of US$ 30.00 (US Dollars thirty)
Multiple entry visas:
The Embassy is responsive to the need of those who may for professional reasons be required to visit India regularly. Multiple entry visas are made available only if need can be clearly demonstrated.
Indian citizens visiting Czech Republic:
Czech visa practices tend to be relatively more restrictive. Most visitors are asked by Czech Missions abroad to produce an invitation as they file their visa applications. It is also difficult to obtain visas for the Czech Republic in third countries. The Embassy remains ready to provide information and assistance in facilitating Indian travelers; particularly those who wish to investigate business opportunities in the Czech Republic. There are however limitations, which we expect 123 India Travelors to take into account.
123 India Travelors staying for more than 72 hours in Czech Republic are required to register with 'Foreign and Border Police of the Czech Republic (Address: Olsanska 2, Prague 3), in person. Passports of the visitors will be stamped by the authorities, and there is no fee for this service.
Registration of Indian nationals: All Indian nationals resident/newly arriving in Czech Republic are advised to register themselves with the Embassy of India. This will facilitate better interaction with the Embassy and would also prove useful in rendering faster consular services.
