Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to the Czech Republic. Visa-free entry is not permitted.
The Czech Republic belongs to the Schengen Area and ordinary Indonesian passport holders are not visa-exempt. For a tourist stay of up to 90 days in 180, Indonesian travellers must obtain a Type C visa before departure. The application is prepared in Indonesia, usually in Jakarta.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. The ordinary Indonesian passport is not exempt from the Schengen visa: a short-stay Type C visa is required to visit the Czech Republic, up to 90 days within 180. The Czech Republic must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen Area; otherwise the application belongs to another state.
How and where to apply
Indonesian applicants apply to the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Jakarta or its authorised external submission centre (VFS Global). Appointments are booked online; in-person submission is required for biometrics (fingerprints and a photo). Check the embassy website for the exact document list and current appointment procedure before travelling to the centre.
Documents and fees
The file usually includes: a signed Schengen application form, a passport valid at least 3 months beyond your planned departure with two blank pages, recent compliant photos, return flight and accommodation bookings, proof of sufficient funds (bank statements), and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 across the whole Schengen Area. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult, excluding service fees. Confirm the amount and accepted payment methods.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; allow more time during European and Indonesian school holidays. Apply no later than 15 days before travel and up to six months ahead. Present recent financial evidence and a clear itinerary. Wait for the decision before buying non-refundable tickets.
Common mistakes
Refusals often come from inadequate insurance, weak proof of funds, inconsistent bookings, a passport close to expiry, or applying in the Czech Republic when another country is the main destination. Never provide falsified documents: this leads to a refusal and harms future applications.
