Visa Fee Payment and Picking up Visa

One pays the visa fee at the ČSOB bank after submitting the visa application and being accepted at the Consular Section. Never pay before submitting the visa application. One cannot pay through bank transfer, only cash at the cashier of the bank.

According to requirements of ČSOB bank citizens of countries outside the EU must present a copy of their passport in the bank to pay the visa fee. We kindly ask the applicants to prepare a passport copy in advance. Citizens of the CR and other EU member states can present their ID card during payment.

When picking up the visa, one has to bring originals of Potvrzení k vyzvednutí víz/superlegalizací and Pickup Form (both given to the applicant when submitting the visa application), plus original payment statement from the above mentioned bank with the relevant special symbol which is also given to each applicant when submitting the visa application. The Consular Section keeps originals of the three above mentioned documents for its own use!

Usually, any person can pick up visa but whoever comes must bring originals of the three above mentioned documents (one need not have power of attorney).
