D/UZ — Diplomatic Visa (Diplomatické vízum)

The Diplomatic Visa (Diplomatické vízum) is a specialized authorization governed by international diplomatic conventions and Czech national law, designed to facilitate the official functions of foreign representatives. It fills the gap for high-level government officials and diplomats who require a specific, privileged legal status to perform their duties in the Czech Republic, ensuring that their official missions are conducted without the administrative burdens or restrictions typically applied to standard foreign nationals.

This visa is exclusively for holders of valid diplomatic passports who are assigned to official diplomatic missions, such as embassies, consulates, or international organizations based in the Czech Republic. It is highly distinctive because it is generally issued free of charge and grants the holder specific diplomatic immunities and privileges under international law. The applicant must be on an official assignment, making this visa a formal tool for maintaining international relations and state-to-state communication.
