Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for Vietnamese citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of the Czech Republic or its official government website before you travel.
Czech Republic is in the Schengen Area. A short-stay Schengen visa issued by any of its 29 member countries covers all of them for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; apply to the country where you will spend the most time, or to your first entry country if the stays are equal.
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 Vietnam
If you live in Vietnam, 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.
