If organizing or participating in a large-scale event in Czechia – such as an international sport event, congress, conference and other – for a large group of participants with visa obligation, do contact us sufficiently in advance.
To process these applications smoothly and in time, we ask for your cooperation in observing these organizational rules:
- inform us at least 2-3 months prior to the event – preferably earlier and certainly not later
- provide a more or less finalized list of participants
- prepare a uniform itinerary for all participants – common arrival and departure date, no additional unrelated deviations from the uniform itinerary (for example without additional travel in the Schengen by some members of the group only)
- appoint a contact person who will communicate with the consulate on behalf of participants
Due to other workload and the need to effectively plan and organize our work, large group applications may only be processed in time when granting this necessary cooperation.
