The Czech Embassy in Tallinn is the formal communication link between the Czech and the Estonian governments. The Ambassador heads the Embassy and is the official representative to Estonia of the Czech Government. The Embassy fulfills the role of a Czech public authority when it comes to consular and migration-related matters, which include issuance of passports and different kinds of certificates, visas for students, residence and work permits as well as assistance to Czechs in emergency situations.

Visa sections of all the other Embassies and Consulates General of the Czech Republic in the Member States of the Schengen area were closed on December 31, 2010. The regionalisation will by no means influence other consular services of the Czech Embassies/Consulates General. The regionalisation will refer to applications of all kinds of residence permits in the Czech Republic (visa up to 90 days of stay, visa over 90 days of stay, long term residency permit and permanent residency permit).

The decision about regionalisation was motivated by a significantly lower number of visa applications at the Czech Embassies/Consulates General in the Member States of the Schengen area and by the efforts in order to improve the efficiency of the Czech Embassies/Consulates General.

Czech citizens are obliged to register births, marriages and deaths that occurred outside the Czech Republic with the Special Register Office in Brno, Czech Republic. This can be done via our Consular Section of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tallinn, during an appointment. The registration of the above-mentioned events must be done as soon as possible after they occur.
