Current Travel Situation
Taiwan to Czech Republic: What You Need to Know
The Czech Republic joined Schengen in 2007. Taiwan has maintained visa-free access to the Schengen Area since 2011. The Czech Republic and Taiwan have strong unofficial ties, and Prague has been vocal in the EU about closer relations with Taiwan. The Czech Senate has passed multiple resolutions supporting Taiwan-friendly policies, making this a particularly warm bilateral relationship despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties.
How to Get There
For stays beyond 90 days, apply for a Czech long-stay visa (Type D) at the Czech Trade Office or representative body in Taiwan.
Money & Banking
The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK), not the Euro. ATMs dispensing CZK are widely available. Cards are accepted in most restaurants and shops in Prague, less so in rural areas.
Practical Tips
Prague is one of the most visited cities in Europe. Book accommodation in the historic center early. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Prague can assist Taiwanese citizens with emergencies and document services.
