Schengen and long-stay visas
Short visits use a Schengen Type C visa; study and work require a long-stay visa or permit applied for in advance at the Czech Embassy in Bangkok.
Documents and translations
Applicants prepare a passport, application form, photo, travel insurance, financial evidence and purpose documents; long-stay visas need additional support such as proof of accommodation in Czechia, and Thai documents must be certified by the Department of Consular Affairs first.
Applying from Thailand
Book an appointment at the Czech Embassy in Bangkok for document submission and biometrics; appointment slots fill quickly, so book early and check the latest requirements before applying.
