Czech Republic visa for Thai 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 2 missions in Thailand, with its embassy in Bangkok. Honorary consulates, which normally do not take visa applications: Phuket.

In 2025, the Czech Republic’s embassy and consulates in Thailand (Bangkok) received 2,337 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,189. The refusal rate was 6.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (6.4%). Applications rose by 6% compared with 2024 (2,215).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.9% of the applications lodged in Thailand that year, from 2.0% at the consulates of Romania to 28.7% at those of Poland. the Czech Republic’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. The Czech Republic was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in Thailand.

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