REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Send a registration email to the following email address: islamabad.family@mzv.gov.cz at the above-mentioned time frame.*

2. Indicate your passport number in the email subject line.

3. In the body of the email, include the following information: full name (as it appears on your travel document), type of visa and purpose of stay. Additionally, if applicable, include the names of your spouse and children if you are applying jointly.

4. Estimated arrival date to the Czech Republic and estimated departure date. 

5. Applicant's phone number. 

6. Attach the following documents to the e-mail (in .pdf format only): a scan of the passport data page and a scan of the proof of purpose of stay (birth or marriage certificate)

7. Applicants who are not citizens of the countries belonging to the territorial jurisdiction of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Islamabad must also attach proof that they have been permitted to reside in the country within the territorial jurisdiction of the Embassy for at least the two years preceding the application. If residence cannot be proven, the applicant must submit the application in their home country.

8. 1 applicant = 1 e-mail. Submit only one email per applicant. Only one applicant can be submitted in each email. The only exceptions are: when minor children apply with a parent (→ parent includes minor children in their application) or when a family is applying (→ one family member includes minor children and spouse in their application).

9. Your e-mail will be processed electronically by a system based on a randomized element.

10. The following emails will be disqualified from the registration process:

i) emails that are not sent in the format specified in point 2,

ii) emails that do not include the attachments referred to in point 4,

iii) emails in which the applicant attempts to register multiple applicants in one submission** except for emails from family or parents registering their minor children,

iv) emails that are sent multiple times by one applicant,

v) emails sent outside the specified registration period,

vi) emails with attachments larger than 10 MB.

11. Wait for confirmation. The Embassy will inform you usually within 14 days whether or not a submission date has been assigned.

12. If you do not receive confirmation of an assigned appointment within 14 days, it implies that your registration for an appointment was either unsuccessful or was not sent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the registration process.

13. The assigned date cannot be changed. If you fail to show up for your appointment, the assigned date becomes invalid. If you arrive late without prior apology, your appointment will also be cancelled - in such a case, the Embassy will proceed with other applicants who arrived on time.

*The email addresses provided are for visa/residency application appointments only. They are not intended for general communication or answering inquiries.

**In order to ensure the functionality of the system, the mzv.cz domain antispam may identify attempts to send bulk registrations via software tools as spam. As a result, such registrations will not be processed.
