If you are from a country not on the above list, and are a non-EU/EEA citizen, you are not required to have a visa to visit the Czech Republic. However, you must register with the Czech Alien and Border Police within 30 days if you intend to stay longer than 30 days, and your passport must be valid for 90 days longer than your intended stay.

Note: You cannot enter the Czech Republic with a Schengen visa.

Temporary Residence Permit

EU/EEA citizens are eligible for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) if they intend to stay in the Czech Republic for longer than three months. A TRP is not required of these citizens, but having one can be useful as proof of residence.

TRP applications may be filed with the Alien and Border Police in the Czech Republic, or with a consulate or embassy abroad. In the former case the request takes a maximum of 60 days to process, and in the latter up to 180 days.

Documents required for TRP:

- Application form (light purple color) completed and signed by the applicant
- Valid passport
- 2 recent passport-sized photographs
- Document detailing the purpose of stay
- Health insurance document
- Affidavit about not claiming social benefits in the Czech Republic by the individual
