Czech Republic visa for Senegalese 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 Senegal, with its embassy in Dakar.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Senegal (Dakar) received 376 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 258. 30.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 33.6%: the rate fell by 2.8 points. Applications rose by 78% compared with 2024 (211).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 51.9% of the applications lodged in Senegal that year, from 25.7% at the consulates of Germany to 82.1% at those of Portugal. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in Senegal.

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

Before travelling from Senegal 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). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
