The Czech Consular Office proved a wide variety of consular services. When for a visa one should note that incomplete applications are not accepted. All candidates need to apply in person. All payments may be made in Australian dollars only. Submission of any application requires presentation of the original passport. All supporting documents must be issued by real provider, not intermediary. Travel health insurance must be issued by insurance company and cannot be substituted by employer's or inviting person's declaration. Likewise accommodation can only be confirmed by hotel or real apartment owner/resident and cannot be substituted by intermediary's declaration. Applicants themselves must present all required documents when submitting application. Reference to other's person/organization assurances is not sufficient. Applicants can pick up passport with visas themselves, or can authorize someone else to do so on their behalf. With applicant's consent, the passport can also be sent back by mail.

Following Australian new sticker free visa arrangements, starting from 1st May 2013 all Australian visa holders who have not Australian visa sticker in their passports and are applying for Czech/Schengen visas are required to arrange for visa verification to be delivered to e-mail address sydney@embassy.mzv.cz
