Czech Republic visa for Egyptian citizens

The Czech Republic’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. 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 Egypt, with its embassy in Cairo.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 2,183 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,990. The refusal rate was 8.8%. The refusal rate fell by 5.5 points from 14.3% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 8% compared with 2024 (2,018).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.

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