Countries whose Citizens do not Need a Visa to Enter the Czech Republic
October 17, 2024
We have explained how the 90 days visa-free stay works in this article. Here you can find the list of all the countries whose citizens do not need a short-term visa to visit the Czech Republic or the Schengen Area in general (last update 11/2025).
The list only refers to tourist stays of non-EU citizens. If you want to travel to the Czech Republic for business, studies etc., you might still need to get a visa. Different rules might also apply if you are already residing in some other EU country holding a long-term visa or long-term residence permit there.
If you are not sure, get in touch and we'll be happy to help!
