Czech Republic visa for Lebanese 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 Lebanon, with its embassy in Beirut.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Lebanon (Beirut) received 1,360 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,013. The refusal rate was 24.9%. The refusal rate fell by 2.2 points from 27.1% in 2024. Applications rose by 80% compared with 2024 (756).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 17.3% of the applications lodged in Lebanon that year, from 4.6% at the consulates of Bulgaria to 38.6% at those of Germany. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Lebanon.

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

Before travelling from Lebanon to the Czech Republic, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates the Czech Republic at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 7 January 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to the Czech Republic (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for the Czech Republic (updated 13 October 2026).
