🇨🇳 Does a Chinese need a visa for the Czech Republic 🇨🇿?

What this means for your trip

You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.

Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Where to apply in China

If you live in China, visas for the Czech Republic are issued by its missions there. Many of them use an outsourced visa application centre: the mission's website says where to apply and which office covers your region.
