Indian citizens visiting Czech Republic:
Czech visa practices tend to be relatively more restrictive. Most visitors are asked by Czech Missions abroad to produce an invitation as they file their visa applications. It is also difficult to obtain visas for the Czech Republic in third countries. The Embassy remains ready to provide information and assistance in facilitating Indian travellers, particularly those who wish to investigate business opportunities in the Czech Republic. There are however limitations, which we expect Indian visitors to take into account.
Indian visitors staying for more than 72 hours in Czech Republic are required to register with 'Foreign and Border Police of the Czech Republic (Address: Olsanska 2, Prague 3), in person. Passports of the visitors will be stamped by the authorities, and there is no fee for this service.
Registration of Indian nationals:
All Indian nationals resident/newly arriving in Czech Republic are advised to register themselves with the Embassy of India. This will facilitate better interaction with the Embassy and would also prove useful in rendering faster consular services.
PIO Card:
Persons of Indian origin holding foreign passports, with some exceptions, are eligible to be issued a PIO card with long term validity. PIO Card offers considerable benefits for its holder in visiting India. For further details regarding PIO Cards, please visit http://passport.nic.in/vspassport/pio.htm. |
