Czech Republic visa for Azerbaijani citizens

For the tourist visa, the Czech Republic’s official sources give a standard fee of €90. Processing time, as the Czech Republic states it: 15 calendar days as a rule; up to 45 days when a case needs closer examination. 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 Azerbaijan, with its embassy in Baku.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Azerbaijan (Baku) received 6,618 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 6,272. 5.2% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 10.6%: the rate fell by 5.3 points, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 26% compared with 2024 (5,266).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.8% of the applications lodged in Azerbaijan that year, from 3.0% at the consulates of Greece to 26.1% at those of Bulgaria. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 5th most applied-for Schengen state in Azerbaijan.

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 Azerbaijan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
