Yes, Indian citizens are required to obtain a visa before traveling to the Czech Republic. Since the country is part of the Schengen Area, Indian applicants must apply for a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C). There is no visa-on-arrival option available for Indian passport holders. The application process includes submitting documents, attending a biometric appointment, and waiting for approval. It is important to apply well in advance of your travel date to avoid delays. A properly prepared application increases your chances of getting the visa approved smoothly.
