Do Czech Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, Czech citizens **are required** to obtain a valid visa before entering Vietnam.
Fortunately, since August 2023, Vietnam's eVisa system is fully open to all nationalities, including Czech passport holders. This means you can apply for your visa entirely online without needing to visit an embassy or send your physical passport away. The eVisa permits stays of up to 90 days, making it perfect for both short holidays and longer explorations.
Vietnam eVisa Requirements for Czech Passports
To successfully apply for a Vietnam eVisa, 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
The cost of a Vietnam eVisa depends on the number of entries you require. 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). However, we strongly recommend applying at least 1 to 2 weeks before your departure date to account for any unexpected delays or requests for additional information.

Flights from Czech Republic to Vietnam
Traveling from the Czech Republic to Vietnam is becoming increasingly convenient.
**Direct Flights:** As of October 2026, **VietJet Air** operates direct flights connecting Prague (PRG) and Hanoi (HAN). These flights run twice a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays) with a brief technical stopover in Almaty.
**Connecting Flights:** If you are traveling outside of the direct flight schedule or prefer different airlines, numerous convenient connecting flights are available. Major carriers such as Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Air France offer flights from Prague to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, usually requiring one layover. Total travel time typically ranges from 14 to 20 hours depending on the connection.
When you arrive with an approved eVisa, you can enter Vietnam through any of the 33 designated entry ports, which include 13 international airports, 16 land borders, and 13 seaports.
Vietnam Embassy in the Czech Republic
While the online eVisa is the most practical option for tourists, you may need to contact the embassy for specific consular matters, document legalization, or if you plan to stay in Vietnam for longer than 90 days or for work purposes.
