APPROVED in Prague, Czech Republic
Category: Soft Skills (Muay Thai)
Very helpful information in this group, thank you for that. Hardly any reports from the Czech Republic though, so here is mine:
Applying as a Czech citizen with a Czech passport.
22nd July 2025 (Tuesday) – Application submitted
23rd July 2025 - Request for further documents:
* Proof of travel document to and from Thailand.
* Proof of accommodation for the whole stay.
24th July 2025 – Documents submitted
25th July 2025 (Friday) – Visa approved
My personal tips:
* Document Indicating Current Location
Scan of both sides of my personal ID card (Občanský průkaz).
* Financial evidence
My bank (Fio) was unable to provide statements in English, only the Account confirmation (Potvrzení o vedení účtu), so I included that together with the account statement in Czech (Výpis z účtu) in CZK currency.
* Proof of confirmation to attend the activity
I chose Bangkok Fight Lab gym and bought a 6-month membership. Issued payment in THB by a bank transfer using my Revolut account. The recipient bank was TMBThanachart Bank and the payment was confirmed within 5 days. Documents from the gym followed shortly after.
* Place of issue (Passport)
It is written on the front page of the passport under "Authority" (Pas vydal). In my case I wrote "UMC PRAHA 7".
* Last port of embarkation (Travel)
In case of a transfer flight it is the one that lands in Thailand. In my case I have a flight from Prague to Bangkok with the transfer in Istanbul. So I put "Turkiye".
Hope this helps.
