Visa and Consular Section
For inquiries related to consular and visa matters kindly contact the Embassy via e-mail riyadh.consulate@mzv.gov.cz.
VISA AND CONSULAR JURISDICTION
- Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kingdom of Bahrain, Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Yemen
COMMUNICATION LANGUAGES
- Official communication languages at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Riyadh are Czech and English - applicants who cannot communicate in either of these languages need to arrange, at their own expense, an interpreter.
- For processes where Administrative Code (act no. 500/2004 Coll.) applies, Czech is the only language to be used.
- E.g. In applications for residence permit, if an interview is requested by the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic, it must be conducted in the Czech language, in accordance with the Administrative Code. Applicants therefore need to arrange, at their own expense, an interpreter into the Czech language for this purpose.
