Tourist visa to the Czech Republic for Russians. Schengen visa to the Czech Republic. Visa by invitation

It’s worth saying right away that the Czech Republic is considered an ideal holiday and work destination for everyone. As always, the main entry document is a Schengen visa. Therefore, these documents should be taken care of before your trip begins. There is nothing surprising in this. Otherwise, the visa preparation process may take quite a long time. By the way, it would not be superfluous to remind you that since 2015, in order to register visa documents, you must submit your fingerprints.

Travel agency and visa processing

To apply for a visa through a travel agency, you will need the following list of documents:

As always, a valid passport is required. The peculiarity is that its validity must be more than 3 months after the end of the last recorded trip. The owner's signature, as well as two blank pages, are also important. Be sure to take these nuances into account.
You need to make a copy of the passport page with all personal data. This includes completed spreads.
A special questionnaire is also presented. It must be filled out correctly in English or Czech. After this, you make a copy of all pages of the questionnaire and put your personal unique signature.
A national passport will also come in handy. You need to make copies of all completed pages and spreads from it. As you understand, the main copy should be the data from the photo - this is the first page.
You also need to sign an agreement with the travel operator who provides you with services. This document confirms the provision of services in the Czech Republic.

There is also a requirement to submit the necessary financial document that confirms your solvency.

It could be:

Certificate from your immediate place of work. It must indicate both position and salary. If we are talking about pensioners, then they need to present a copy of the pension document. In the event that you are unemployed, you need to provide an application for sponsorship, as well as attach a certificate from the sponsor’s place of work.
You can also submit an original bank account statement showing the balances cash. To this document passed the test, a stamp is required, as well as certification from the bank.
If you use a foreign by bank card, then it will be mandatory to present a photocopy of it, as well as a statement of funds. The bank must also certify this data.
The embassy always asks for a reservation for accommodation in the country. The Czech Republic is no exception.
If you will be staying with relatives, attach a copy indicating free accommodation and all the necessary data.

Please note that visiting the country as a tourist is a short-term visa, which prohibits staying in the country beyond the specified period.

Visa for departure of children

In order to visit a visa country with children, there are also necessary documents:

A mandatory condition is the presentation of a birth certificate.
If a minor child travels with only one parent, then a written agreement from the second will be required.
Accompanying persons need to register notarized power of attorney, and also attach written permission from the parents.
If the spouses are divorced but are leaving with the child, they will need to submit all the necessary documents.

We apply for a visa ourselves

It is worth saying that applying for a visa to the Czech Republic on your own will not take longer. All deadlines are standard, but you will spend much more time. The list of documents is almost the same, but you also need to provide documents for air transportation, information about your financial security, and medical insurance for 30,000 euros.

The Czech Republic visa center is located in Moscow, so you can submit all documents directly there. In order to receive ready-made documents, they may require documents from you that confirm your identity. If we are talking about a trustee, be sure to prepare a notarized power of attorney.

Fees, terms, prices

Let's answer the most common question: how long does it take to get a visa to the Czech Republic? The standard is five to ten business days. We also offer urgent processing – three working days. Please note that the consular fee increases exactly twice. For example, if the regular consular fee is 35 euros, then the double tariff is 70 euros.

If you want to visit the Czech Republic in 2020, then you will need to obtain a Schengen visa, just like for any other Schengen country. The Czech Republic can give Russians a wide variety of holidays in any season of the calendar year. You can visit the sights and health resorts of the Czech Republic all year round. An entry permit (Schengen visa to the Czech Republic) is required for all categories of Russians. Each purpose of the visit requires obtaining a certain type of visa: tourist, business, study, visiting friends or relatives, etc.

If you have an open Schengen visa from another Schengen country (which is 26 countries), you will also be able to enter the Czech Republic.

Main types of visas

Visa to the Czech Republic

Schengen(short-term visa type “C”), i.e. visa with a stay of up to 90 days. This is the type of visa most in demand among Russians, for example, for a tourist or business trip, as well as for visiting relatives.

Transit A visa to the Czech Republic is required for those who pass through the republic on their way to another country that is not part of Schengen. If you have a valid Schengen visa, you can cross the territory of the Czech Republic without a transit visa. If you are traveling by plane, then you need transit visa in order to be in the international area of the airport.

Hi all! Here I will tell you how I received independently visa to the Czech Republic in 2017 and many years in a row before that, and I’ll tell you a couple of secrets on how to prepare documents for the Czech visa center. Current information here: March 2017

Many people are interested in the nuances of issuing Schengen visas in 2017. Here we will talk about obtaining a Schengen visa to the Czech Republic. To begin with, the most important thing is the application form for a visa to the Czech Republic.

Czech visa application form

The application form for a Czech visa can be downloaded(form actuality: March 2017). Printed on two A4 sheets on both sides. You can print it on A3, like a book, if you have such a printer. A visa to the Czech Republic is still issued for the period that you requested in the application form. But another 15 days are added to the departure date from the Czech Republic so that the travel dates can be moved. A couple of years ago, a trend began that the Czechs again began to issue one-time visas, or visas for only half a year. Who received a visa to Spain, Greece, etc. They know that they easily issue visas for a year, two, or even three. Try to ask for a longer period, but they will give it. You can also immediately download the permission to process personal data here.

Visa insurance You can buy directly on this site. You will only need to print it. Accepted by all consulates. .

Scheme for obtaining a visa to the Czech Republic

In general, the procedure for obtaining a visa to the Czech Republic in 2017 remained the same. 35 euros consular fee (70 euros in case of urgent visa) and 25 euros service fee. All this is paid after submitting the documents. In Moscow, the visa center is located on Sushchevsky Val 31 in the courtyard behind the barrier. There is nowhere to park your car there and they won’t let you inside in it. About the Moscow visa center, tourists from other cities will find the address of their center on the website.

It is not necessary to make an appointment in advance to apply for a visa, but this can be done on the website. There is no point in this, there are a lot of employees and you will have to wait in line for a couple of minutes. Prepare your documents, take a ticket from the security guard and wait for the number on the board. You can apply directly to the consulate, then you don’t need to pay a service fee, but you will have to sign up on the consulate’s website.

Fingerprints and some changes

Not long ago it became necessary to take biometrics. All this takes 5 minutes and is done right here. There is also mobile biometrics in a suitcase, with which a guy will come to your home. Rented once every ten or five years, I don’t remember. If you have taken it before at any visa center/consulate, write this in the application form.

A photo is still required for the application form. If something happens, you can do it yourself in a visa center booth for two hundred rubles six pieces. You will also need permission to process personal data - download.

Now you don't need a printout from your bank account for several months. Simply printing out the card balance is enough.

“When submitting documents, workers at the Czech visa center still require such insanity things as: confirmation of hotel reservation on fax paper, confirmation of payment electronic ticket(sometimes), confirmation of payment for the hotel with a card statement, or (!) so that the faxed reservation from the hotel contains a note that “the hotel has been paid for” or that “payment will be made on the day of check-out.” — I saved this paragraph for history, so that I could later remember how the rules for obtaining a visa changed. All this about fax is no longer relevant :)

List of documents for a visa to the Czech Republic

1. Foreign passport, which is valid for another three months after the expiration of the planned visa. The original and a copy of the photo page. You will also need a photo of the children if they are included in the passport.

2. One color photograph 3.5 x 4.5 cm. It can be taken at the booth in the visa center itself.

Is it possible to fill out a visa application in Russian?

No, you need to fill out in English, Czech or translit (Russian words in English letters).

Do I need insurance for the entire period of a multiple visa?

No, not needed. Insurance is issued only for the duration of the first trip. Then you agree to buy insurance for other trips by signing the third page of the form. You can buy insurance online

Is the cost of a multiple visa to the Czech Republic more expensive than a single entry visa?

The cost is the same as a simple one, namely: - 35 Euro when applying directly through the consulate or 35 euros + 25 euros when applying through a visa center. Accelerated— 70 euros and 25 euros when applying through a visa center.

How to fill out an application form for a multiple visa to the Czech Republic. Columns 24 and 25 with dates are incomprehensible!!

Exactly the same as for a regular visa. But in the travel dates write:
Entry date— the date for which you have a ticket.
Departure date— add 360 days to the entry date and write what happens.
Number of days of stay- 90. This means 90 days in a half year. Therefore, there will be a total of 180 days a year. No need to write 180.

Is it possible to take a photo for a visa at the visa center?

Can. The price for 6 photos will be 200 rubles.

Is a multiple entry visa a multiple-entry visa, or is it something else?

Yes, it is reusable.

I didn’t have a visa before, is it worth asking for a multiple visa or maybe they won’t give me any at all then?

You can ask. They won’t give you a multi, they will give you a regular one for your travel dates.

Do they give you a Schengen visa, with which you can travel around Europe, or only a Czech one?

They give Schengen, but national Czech visa also exists. I have not met anyone who wants to receive it.

Are fingerprints made with a roller and paint, like in the movies about bandits?

No, they do it electronically on a special device. Your hands will remain clean.

Some nuances for filling out an application for a visa to the Czech Republic

Columns 1 and 3 - last name and first name, everything is clear. We fill it out as in a foreign passport.

Column 2 - patronymic - is not filled in.

4 columns - date of birth. There are 8 squares. We fill them in like this: 02081982 - (day, month, year, without dashes or dashes).

Points 5 and 6 are clear - the city of birth and the country “RUSSIA” for Russians, the rest you can figure out for yourself.

Attention!7th Earl, Citizenship and citizenship at birth. In the first field, Russians write RUS; in the second field, those born in the USSR write SUN. Those who are younger write RUS. Until 1991 it seems SUN. And by the way, this is not the sun, but the Soviet Union.

In field 11 - do not write anything, this is not our Russian TIN.

Most people put it at 12 - a regular passport. The rest will figure out what to put on their own.

Column 16 - put “RUS” regardless of what you have there (FMS or something else). Although I installed FMS and it worked.

In column 18, ordinary tourists from Russia do not write anything.

19-20 - also clear.

21 columns in the visa application form - Tourists put tourism. The rest put theirs.

In columns 22 and 23 write “Czech Republic” if you are traveling mainly to the Czech Republic. It is advisable to write correctly, Russia to write - Russia, Czech Republic - Czech Republic, no need to write Rossija and Chechiya, also indicate Ul in the addresses. and not Street, etc. Don't be smart again.

In columns 24 and 25 indicate the type of visa you are requesting. Ask for a multiple visa for a year. They will refuse multi, they will give you one-time. How to fill out this field is written in the questions and answers above.

26 - indicate all Schengen visas (Egyptian and Turkish are not needed), if you have been there for three years, older ones are not needed either. For example it would be: from 29.12.08 to 04.01.09 CZE. If there is more than one visa, simply write the start date and end date below in the same format. You do not indicate travel dates, but rather the start and end dates of the visa and the three-letter country code. You can see it in the visa number at the beginning.

27 - fingerprints. Write no, if not, if you passed, write that you passed.

28 - only for transit, do not write anything.

in columns 29 and 30 you write clearly what. The same as the date of birth, for example 11012011 - day, month, year. Without any dashes, etc.

Column 31 - the name of the hotel, followed by the address and telephone number with code. Yes, yes, with code +420 :).

You fill out column 32 if you are not going to a hotel, but by invitation, then in 31 you indicate the inviter.

In 33, note - “The applicant himself” and further you can note: cash, card, hotel paid, transport paid. You can also add something of your own or indicate receipts, if any.

From columns 34 to 35 you skip everything.

In 36 and 37: write the place, for example “Moscow”, date and signature in 37

On the final quarter page of the application form for a visa to the Czech Republic, sign at the top and at the bottom again put the place, date and signature on the right.
