You can apply for a Czech Schengen visa at the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Czech Republic or at the Czech Service Visa Center - both personally and through a trustee (for example, a relative with a notarized power of attorney or through an accredited travel agency).

To make the process of issuing a visa to the Czech Republic take less time, you need to properly prepare a package of documents. If you purchase a tour at an agency, its employees will help you with filling out a questionnaire, and with the formation of the entire package of documents, plus they will take on all contacts with the Embassy. If you are doing your own visa to the Czech Republic on your own, see the list of documents for obtaining a visa on the website of the Embassy of the Czech Republic, the Czech Service Visa Center website and on the websites of tour operators.

In order to make it easier to obtain a visa for self-application, it is better to contact the Czech Visa Application Center. It costs a little more than sending an application directly to the Embassy, ​​but the staff of the center will help with filling out the questionnaires, check your documents for compliance and answer all questions.

Please note that the tourist visa to the Czech Republic is Schengen - it gives you free access to all the countries of the European Union, but this means that it is in the Czech Republic that you should stay a longer time or this should be the first of the borders of the Eurozone that you cross. If this rule is not observed, complications may arise when obtaining the next Schengen visa. Therefore it is useful to keep old passports, air tickets and hotel invoices in case you need to prove your "exemplary behavior" in the Eurozone.
