Czech citizens planning a trip to the United States benefit from the Visa Waiver Program, requiring an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ETA) for stays up to 90 days. While a tourist visa is the most common route, a second visa category also exists for other specific travel purposes, with direct flights frequently departing from Václav Havel Airport Prague to major US hubs like New York and Chicago. Crossing the Atlantic typically involves an 8 to 9-hour journey, connecting not just geographical distance but also a nation where cities like Chicago and New York boast vibrant Czech-American communities, a testament to generations of immigrants. Remember to account for the considerable time difference—often six to nine hours behind Prague—and that the US Dollar is the universally accepted currency for all transactions.
ESTA valid 2 years. ESTA required for cruise/land entry. Form I-94 ($30) for land entry. Visa required if travel to Iran, Iraq, Libya, NK, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, or Cuba since certain dates.
