| # Visa Information | ||
|
|
||
| ## Requirements | ||
|
|
||
| If you want to attend EuroPython 2025 in Prague, the Czech Republic, you should first verify whether you need a visa to enter the Czech Republic, and apply for one **as soon as possible** if you do. It's also advisable to **secure a visa appointment well in advance of your planned application date** due to high demand and potential delays some people encountered last year. | ||
| If you want to attend EuroPython 2026 in Kraków, Poland, you should first verify whether you need a visa to enter Poland, and apply for one **as soon as possible** if you do. It's also advisable to **secure a visa appointment well in advance of your planned application date** due to high demand and potential delays. | ||
|
|
||
| [This list of countries](https://www.mzv.cz/jnp/en/information_for_aliens/short_stay_visa/list_of_states_whose_citizens_are/index.html) defines if you require a visa to visit the Czech Republic. | ||
| Please review the official [Poland visa information](https://www.gov.pl/web/diplomacy/visas) and the [European Commission Schengen visa policy guidance](https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen/visa-policy_en) to confirm whether you need a visa to visit Poland. | ||
|
|
||
| **NOTE**: The Czech Republic is part of the EU, and part of the Schengen Area. So if you already have a valid Schengen visa, you may **NOT** need to apply for an Czech visa. Please check the website above and consult your local consular office or embassy, if you are uncertain. | ||
| **NOTE**: Poland is part of the EU and part of the Schengen Area. So if you already have a valid Schengen visa, you may **NOT** need to apply for a separate Polish visa. Please check the guidance above and consult your local Polish consular office or embassy if you are uncertain. | ||
|
|
||
| If you do need a visa to attend EuroPython 2025, you can lodge a visa application issued for **[Short Stay (C), up to 90 days, for the purpose of “Business /Conference"](https://www.mzv.cz/jnp/en/information_for_aliens/short_stay_visa/conference.html)**. We recommend you do this as soon as possible. | ||
| If you do need a visa to attend EuroPython 2026, you will typically need a **[Schengen visa (C-Type)](https://www.gov.pl/web/usa-en/visas---general-information)** for a stay of up to 90 days. Please check the requirements of the Polish consular post where you will apply, as supporting documents may vary by country. | ||
|
|
||
| Please make sure you read all the visa pages carefully and prepare all the required documents before making your application. **The EuroPython organisers are not able nor qualified to give visa advice.** | ||
|
|
||
| Should you require a visa to travel to the Czech Republic, even though it is still possible to submit your visa application 15 days before your planned travel date, it is strongly advisable to apply **as soon as possible**, as it can sometimes take more than a month to receive a decision. | ||
| Should you require a visa to travel to Poland, even though it may still be possible to submit your visa application closer to your planned travel date, it is strongly advisable to apply **as soon as possible**, as it can sometimes take more than a month to receive a decision. | ||
