Do Czech Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
No, for short visits, Czech citizens do not require a visa. As of 2026, Czech passport holders are eligible for a 45-day visa exemption when entering Vietnam for tourism, transit, or business purposes.
For stays exceeding 45 days, Czech citizens must obtain a valid visa before entering Vietnam. The eVisa system permits stays of up to 90 days and is processed entirely online.
Vietnam eVisa Requirements for Czech Passports
To successfully apply for a Vietnam eVisa for stays between 46 and 90 days, Czech travelers must prepare the following documents and information:
- A Valid Passport: Your Czech passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival in Vietnam and contain at least 2 blank pages for entry and exit stamps.
- Passport Data Page Photo: A clear, glare-free, colored scan or photo of your passport's bio-data page.
- Portrait Photo: A recent passport-sized photograph (4x6cm) looking straight ahead, without glasses, and taken against a solid white background.
- Payment Method: A valid credit or debit card to pay the processing fee.
- Active Email Address: To receive notifications and the final approved eVisa PDF.
[!IMPORTANT] The information you provide on the application form must perfectly match the details on your passport. Any discrepancies—even minor typos—can result in your visa being rejected or denied entry at the border.
Visa Cost and Processing Time
For stays extending beyond the 45-day exemption period, the cost of a Vietnam eVisa depends on the number of entries required. Here are the standard government fees:
- Single-entry eVisa (up to 90 days): $25 USD (approximately 575 CZK)
- Multiple-entry eVisa (up to 90 days): $50 USD (approximately 1,150 CZK)
The standard processing time for the eVisa is 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and Vietnamese public holidays). It is advised to apply at least 1 to 2 weeks before the intended departure date to account for processing times or requests for additional information. Application should be made via the National Web Portal on Immigration.
