For the tourist visa, the Czech Republic’s official sources give a standard fee of €90.

Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.

The Czech Republic has 1 mission in Armenia, with its embassy in Yerevan.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Armenia (Yerevan) received 4,423 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 3,912. The refusal rate was 11.4%. The refusal rate rose by 4.0 points from 7.4% in 2024. Applications rose by 15% compared with 2024 (3,855).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.9% of the applications lodged in Armenia that year, from 0.9% at the consulates of Romania to 21.9% at those of Greece. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 7th most applied-for Schengen state in Armenia.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Armenia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
