Airport Transit Visa – Czech Republic

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

The Airport Transit Visa is required for non-EU citizens who must transit through an international airport in the Czech Republic while traveling to their final destination outside the Schengen Area. This visa does not permit the traveler to exit the airport transit zone or enter Czech territory.

Who Does Not Require an Airport Transit Visa?

Certain travellers are exempt from the Airport Transit Visa requirement, including:

  • Holders of valid Schengen visas, long-term visas, or residence permits.
  • Holders of residence permits from Andorra, Canada, Japan, San Marino, and the United States.
  • Holders of valid visas for Canada, Japan, or the United States.
  • Family members of EU citizens.
  • Holders of diplomatic passports.
  • Crew members who are citizens of ICAO member states.

The Airport Transit Visa can be issued for one or two entries and remains valid for up to six months.

Eligibility

To apply for an Airport Transit Visa, applicants must:

  • Hold a valid passport or travel document.
  • Provide a UK eVisa printout from UKVI with a valid share code.
  • Be a citizen of a non-EU country that requires an airport transit visa.
  • Be transiting through a Czech airport without entering the Schengen Area.

Processing Time

  • Applications can be submitted up to 6 months before the intended travel date.
  • The standard processing time is 2 weeks, but additional time may be required based on nationality or embassy requests.
  • For certain nationalities, processing may take 3 weeks due to mandatory consultation with other Schengen states.
  • Applicants should book appointments early, especially during peak travel seasons (Easter, summer holidays, and Christmas), as slots fill up quickly.
  • The embassy may request additional documents or interviews, which could extend processing times.
