Before travelling to Prague, you should check if any entry requirements are needed and arrange all necessary documentation. If you are a citizen of a country that does not have Visa Waiver Regime with the Czech Republic, you will need to obtain a valid visa in order to enter the Czech Republic. Contrary to some other countries, which issue visas on arrival, the Czech visa can be obtained only at a Czech embassy or the premises of authorities representing the Czech Republic in that particular country.
