Details compiled from the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs directory (mofa.gov.vn/cac-don-vi, overseas missions) on 19 October 2026. No email address is published in the directory; use the email or contact form on the official website. Opening hours are not listed in the directory – check the official website before visiting.
According to the Ministry’s list of overseas missions, Vietnam has one mission in the Czech Republic – the Embassy in Prague – which handles all consular matters for the country.
Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens:
- Passport issuance, renewal and replacement; travel documents after a passport is lost.
- Civil status: birth, marriage and death registration, and recording events registered abroad.
- Nationality matters: confirmation, renunciation and restoration of Vietnamese nationality.
- Consular certification and legalisation, notarisation and attestation of documents.
- Citizen protection in emergencies (accidents, lost documents, detention).
For foreigners: the mission still issues visas, but most travellers now use the online e-visa. A visa sticker from the embassy is mainly for diplomatic or official passports, or for applicants holding a visa approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department that names Prague as the pick-up point.
Do Czech citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
According to the Vietnam visa exemption list kept up to date by Info Travel, the Czech Republic is one of 12 European countries exempted under Resolution 229/NQ-CP: up to 45 days per entry for tourism, applicable from 15 August 2025 to 14 August 2028. Rules are adjusted from time to time, so check again shortly before you travel.
For stays longer than 45 days, trips for purposes other than tourism or multiple entries, Czech citizens can apply online at evisa.gov.vn (up to 90 days, single or multiple entry; fee USD 25 or USD 50). Info Travel offers a full-service e-visa if you want your application checked before submission.
Legalising documents from the Czech Republic for use in Vietnam
Vietnam acceded to the Apostille Convention (in force for Vietnam from 11 September 2026), but the Convention does not apply between Vietnam and the Czech Republic because the Czech Republic objected to Vietnam’s accession. Documents issued in the Czech Republic therefore still need consular legalisation before they are accepted in Vietnam. The usual steps:
- Have the document certified by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs under local rules.
- Submit it for legalisation at the Embassy of Vietnam in Prague.
- In Vietnam, have it translated into Vietnamese and the translation certified (see notarised translation).
Typical documents: degrees and criminal record certificates for a Vietnam work permit, birth certificates, and certificates of marital status for marriage in Vietnam. If sending papers back to the Czech Republic is not practical, see Info Travel’s consular legalisation service.

FAQ
What are the opening hours of the Embassy of Vietnam in the Czech Republic?
The MOFA directory does not list opening hours. Check the notices on the mission’s official website and remember both Vietnamese and local public holidays.
Do I need an appointment?
It is best to call or email first to confirm the required documents and how applications are accepted (in person or by post), so you do not have to make several trips.
Should I apply at the embassy or get an e-visa?
For ordinary tourist and business trips, the online e-visa is faster and easier. An embassy visa suits diplomatic or official passports, or travellers with an approval letter naming Prague as the pick-up point.
