SUBMISSION
 

Applicants submit their applications in person at the embassy. The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Riyadh is authorised to accept applications lodged by citizens of countries within its territorial jurisdiction —Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Yemen; as well as by foreign nationals who hold a long‑term or permanent residence permit in one of the above‑mentioned countries and have resided there continuously for at least two years before submission. The list of nationalities that are exempt by law from this rule is provided here.

APPOINTMENT
 

The next registration for appointments for long-term visa for the purpose of seasonal works will take place, under the conditions set out below

on 22 October 2026 from 10 am till 4 pm of local time (KSA).

Based on the results of registration, appointments will be scheduled in the period of December 2026 - February 2027.

In case the number of registration emails to schedule an appointment for an in‑person submission exceeds the number of appointment slots available as per the capacity of the Consulate, the electronic system will assign an order— based on a random element —to registrations that have met criteria published below. Appointments will then be offered to the applicants according to the assigned order, until the capacity is exhausted.
