We tell about the independent experience of obtaining a Schengen visa to the Czech Republic (type C): what documents are needed, prices in 2020, nuances, useful links and addresses. What did the employees come with and how much we waited for a visa. Step-by-step instruction.
Why is a visa to the Czech Republic for yourself? Because in fact you pay only for advice and filling out the questionnaire. And all this you can do yourself - now all the necessary information is on the Internet and on the sites of embassies.
Our experience. We made a visa to the Czech Republic independently in Perm in the Visa Embassy Visa Center - VFS Global. Documents they sent for some reason in the Moscow Consulate, and not in Yekaterinburg. Registration took about 2 weeks. We submitted documents and were nervous that the visa would not have time to come. Do not do it - it is better to take care in advance. As a result, the visa was given only on the date of travel. But our friend was given a few years ago for a year!
What documents are needed for a visa to the Czech Republic in 2020
So, you are going to make a visa to the Czech Republic yourself. Russians need to collect a standard package of documents for Schengen:
international passport, Valid more than 3 months after the expected date of departure from Schengen + copy of the page with a photo.
Photo. One color photo is 3.5 x 4.5 (it will turn on a visa). It should be fresh - less than six months. The person must occupy about 2/3 photos. You can also take pictures in the visa center.
Insurance In the amount of at least 30,000 euros, which operates in all countries of Schengen. We got free insurance with a map for the whole world (Lesha - credit, I have debit). It can also be bought at the visa center or place online on services or. Cost - from 300 rubles per week.
Passport + Copy of pages with photos, registration and in general all the marks.
Questionnaire. Just 4 pages. Filled in capital letters in English. You can fill out of the hand (black or blue paste, not more than 4 fix) or online and print. Write without errors and only the truth. Download forms and samples Questionnaires can be (consulate site) and (VFS site).
Confirmation of aircraft armor or railway tickets in both directions. Internal moving around Europe they are not interested - only entrances and trips from Shengen. These printouts of domestic tickets will then be useful to you, as some collective farm carriers of Slovak Lines still require paper tickets. If you are going by car, you need a driver's license, a technical support, Green card (international car insurance).
Finance confirmation. Everything is simple: extract from the account, stamp and signature. That is, the check from the ATM on the rest is not suitable. The site says that it is desirable that the certificate reflects the movement of funds for at least 3 months. We also said that it was not necessary: \u200b\u200bit is enough to throw the right amount and bring an extract about the rest.
How much do you need to have money in the account? Depends on the number of days, calculate ourselves - 1100 Czech crowns (or in another currency) on 1 day.
Currency exchange rate: 1 Czech crown (CZK) ≈ 2.8 RUB.
Alternative: Help from the place of work (Corporate Blank with wages) or references in form 2-NDFL and 3-NDFL.
All references should be fresh, not older than 1 month. We took an extract from the account right before submitting documents.
Visa fees - 35 euros. Service collection - 25 euros. Express decoration - 70 euros. Regional Express Centers do not. Children under 6 years old, as well as disabled and 1 accompanying their face do not pay consular and service fees.
Consent to the processing of personal data. Do not forget to print it and fill out - without consent, the visa will not give.
Documents required for juvenile
Over listed documents are required to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic:
Biometric data (Dactyloscopy)
This is a simple fingerprint procedure in a separate cabin. Children under 12 years old do not pass. In visa centers, there is a "Mobile Biometry" service - for 150 euros you will come home and take prints.
How much is the visa to the Czech Republic?
It is necessary to draw up in advance, but not earlier 3 months before the trip. Usually the term of consideration is 5 days, but can delay up to 30 days.
The most strange item for us sounds like this: "We do not recommend organizing a trip to enter the Czech Republic until you receive a Schengen visa." How then to be with paid armor to provide the embassy? Unclear.
Where to independently make a visa to the Czech Republic?
Embassy of the Czech Republic in Moscow: ul. Y. Fucciku, 12/14.
Consulate of the Czech Republic in Petersburg: ul. Tverskaya, 5.

Blanks form
Dear applicants, visa center specialists will professionally fill out a visa application questionnaire when visiting the visa center visit. You can use this service during submission of documents / consulting in visa centers. You can find more detail here.
To download the questionnaire:
The Czech Republic comes every year more and more guests from Russia, who need a visa to visit this country in 2020, regardless of the purpose of the visit.
According to the new rules:
At the same time, those who in the previous two years had at least a two-year-old Schengen, from now on with each regular handling it is planned to produce 5-year-old multivibuses.
Package of documents for filing is also one now. This is especially true of the residents of "preferential" regions, such as St. Petersburg and the North-West on Finland. (In particular, financial support and confirmation of accommodation for the first trip from now on necessarily for all).
And, we remind that with the primary design, personal presence in the visa center / consulate is required. (To give biometrics (fingerprints), followed by updating once every 5 years).
The number of individual tourists is also growing: people who travel often no longer need the help of guides and travel agencies and may well independently plan all stages of the trip. Not only tickets and a hotel room, but also a visa to the Czech Republic may be decorated independently.
To obtain a visa, many still turn to intermediaries. It is completely in vain: first, the registration of a visa through third parties is more than several times more expensive, and secondly, to collect documents for registration of a visa are not more difficult than, for example, to make a car.
What kind of visa to request?
The Czech consulate provides for the issuance of several types of visas: long-term and short-term, per entry or for more entry. In a statement to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic, you must correctly indicate the type of visa, as the decision of the consulate workers depends on this. Even if all prepared documents are in order, but the type of visa is incorrect, there will be a refusal.
For the design of different types of visas (short-term and long-term) filled various application forms.
Who needs a short-term visa?
This is the most popular visa type - most people turn to the short-term. Entry permission is issued for 180 days. During this period, a foreigner can be in the Czech Republic no more than 90 days. Such a visa is needed to those who plan to visit relatives, spend several days in the country with a tourist purpose or go to the recovery in the sanatorium. Also, a short-term visa must be issued for a short-term business trip or to participate in a cultural or sports event. Student visa can be short-term if the course of study lasts no more than 90 days.
Who needs a long-term visa?
Long-term visa needs students planning to continue their studies in the Czech Republic, diplomats or businessmen, whose work requires a long stay in the territory of the Czech Republic. Appeal for such a visa requires the availability of a document confirming its need: this may be a confirmation from the educational institution of the Czech Republic about enrollment on the course of study, an invitation from the Czech organization for the prescribed period of work, etc.
Tourist visa is always a short-term visa. But such a visa can be issued for a single, twofold or multiple entry. If the applicant has never been previously in European countries or has only one, the Czech Consulate will approve a visa that allows you to cross the border of the Schengen Union once. Consulate of the Czech Republic is favorably to tourists from Russia: if the applicant shows a good visa history and its reliability, it will be approved by multivisa. If you attach documents to a visa of a copy of two Schengen visas obtained over the past three years, you can get a multiple Czech visa for a period of one year. But it is important that previous visas be used correctly and there were no visa violations. For the Czech Multivise, only the "Schengen" visa story plays the role: if there are marks on visiting visa-free countries or visas of non-European states, the role will not play.
The happy owners of Czech Multivibuses after a trip to the Czech Republic can take advantage of this visa for traveling to other Schengen countries.
Bad visa story
If someone once did not give a visa to the Czech Republic or to another country of the Schengen Union, this does not mean that the next time there will be a refusal.
It is possible that the refusal was the reason for non-compliance with the requirements for documents or improperly filling out the application. Applicants with refusal are not recommended to make a visa urgently: their documents require a longer consideration.

If the Spanish visa has not been used, and the first entrance will be on the territory of the Czech Republic, this is considered a violation of the visa regime and may not be ill to reflect on visa history.
The visa is not required for the transit flight: if the transplantation to another flight you need to spend less than 24 hours in any Czech airport and do not leave the transit zone.
