Overview
If you're an Indian entrepreneur, business professional, or corporate executive looking to attend meetings, conferences, or events in the Czech Republic, you’ll need a Czech Republic Business Visa. This visa is designed for short-term visits of up to 90 days for conducting business activities such as meetings, exploring new markets, or signing contracts. The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, meaning you can travel freely within 26 European countries with a single visa.
