Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit CZ?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Czechia for tourism. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa option, and ETIAS does not apply to you because it covers only visa-exempt nationals. Czechia is a full member of the Schengen Area, and Indonesia is not on the EU's visa-exempt list. As an Indonesian ordinary passport holder, you must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C / uniform) visa before travel for tourism or any short visit. Applications are lodged in person, by appointment, at a VFS Global Czech Republic Visa Application Centre in Indonesia (Jakarta, with services also via Bali and Surabaya), as the Czech Embassy outsources visa intake. The visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, not only Czechia. The standard adult visa fee is EUR 90 (raised in June 2024), paid in Indonesian rupiah at the prevailing rate, plus a VFS service charge of roughly IDR 394,000. You must apply at the embassy/consulate of your main destination; if Czechia is your only or primary destination, apply for a Czech visa. Typical processing is around 15 calendar days, but you should apply well in advance (applications are accepted up to 6 months before travel, and no later than 15 working days before). Note: the EU's ETIAS travel authorization, expected to launch in late 2026, does NOT apply to Indonesian nationals because they already require a visa; ETIAS is only for visa-exempt travelers. Always confirm requirements with the Czech Embassy in Jakarta or VFS Global before booking, as fees and rules can change.
