Visa & Entry

Czechia is part of the US Visa Waiver Program. Czech citizens can travel to the US for tourism or business for up to 90 days without a visa. You must apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) at least 72 hours before departure. The ESTA costs USD 21, is valid for 2 years, and covers multiple trips.

Apply only at the official site: esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Third-party sites charge much more for the same thing. You need a biometric passport (the kind with the chip symbol on the cover). Older non-biometric Czech passports do not qualify for the Visa Waiver Program.

The 90-day stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you lose Visa Waiver Program eligibility permanently and will need a full visa for all future US trips. Quick trips to Canada or Mexico do not reset the 90-day clock.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
