Czech Republic
Czech Republic offers several types of visas depending on the duration and purpose of the visit. Czech Republic is a member of the European Union and the Schengen area. Here is a summary of the primary visa categories:
Citizens of certain non-EU countries must hold a short-stay visa when travelling to the Schengen area. This visa is required for individuals attending business meetings, conferences, trade fairs, seminars. A Schengen visa is an entry permit for non-EU nationals to make a short, temporary visit of up to 90 days in any 180-day period to a country in the Schengen area.
As the Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, applicants must apply for a Schengen visa specific to business travel. This visa allows the holder to move within the Schengen Zone, including the Czech Republic, for the duration of their visa.
A key type of work visa in the Czech Republic, the Employee Card serves as both a work and residence permit. This card is designed for foreign nationals planning to stay and work in the Czech Republic for periods longer than three months.
Other significant work visa options include the ICT, which is for employees of multinational companies being transferred to the Czech branch, and the EU blue card, which is intended for highly skilled professionals meeting specific salary thresholds and possessing advanced qualifications.
