Conference Visa – Czech Republic

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

The Conference Visa is required for non-EU citizens traveling to the Czech Republic to attend, participate in, or be actively involved in conferences, seminars, workshops, or similar professional events. This visa allows short-term stays and requires applicants to provide proof of event participation, such as an official invitation letter or registration confirmation.

Eligibility

To apply for a Conference Visa, applicants must:

  • Hold a valid passport or travel document.
  • Provide a UK eVisa printout from UKVI with a valid share code.
  • Have an official invitation letter or event registration proof confirming participation.
  • Apply for a short-stay Schengen visa under the Conference Visa category.

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.
  • Certain nationalities may require additional consultation with Schengen states, extending the processing time to 3 weeks.
  • Applicants should book appointments early, particularly during peak seasons (Easter, summer holidays, and Christmas), as appointment slots fill up quickly.
  • The embassy may request additional documents or interviews, which could extend processing times.
