Okay, so, I wanted to get myself a Czech passport. I’ve always been fascinated by the Czech Republic, and having a passport from there just seemed cool, you know?

First things first, I had to figure out how the heck to even apply. It’s not like you can just walk into a store and buy one, right? After some digging around, I found out that I had to apply in person. No online submissions, which kind of bummed me out, but what can you do? And get this, you can’t just show up; you need a previously booked appointment. Organized, I guess.

I found out that the Czech law sets a timeframe of 120 days. That’s like, four months! Patience is a virtue, they say, but waiting that long for a passport? Ugh.

Gathering All My Stuff

Next, I needed to gather all my documents. Since I was applying from abroad, I had to go through a diplomatic mission. Apparently, they can only issue visas for passports that the Czech Republic recognizes. Makes sense, I suppose.

• Proof of identity
• Proof of Czech citizenship (this was a whole other adventure)
• Some passport photos that make me look semi-decent

I also learned that if you have a permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic, you can submit the application in person there. But since I don’t, I had to stick with the embassy route.

The Appointment

The day of the appointment finally arrived. I double, triple-checked that I had everything. I went to the embassy, a bit nervous, not gonna lie. The whole process was pretty formal. I handed over my documents, answered a bunch of questions, and paid some fees.

They told me that the Czech passport is a travel document issued by the Czech government and it’s the ultimate proof of Czech citizenship. And apparently, it’s ranked 16th in the world. Not too shabby, huh?

The Waiting Game

Now, the hardest part: waiting. Those 120 days felt like forever. I kept imagining all the places I could go with my new passport. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I got the call. My passport was ready!

Picking it up was a breeze compared to everything else. And there it was, my very own Czech passport. It was a long and sometimes annoying process, but hey, I did it. Now, time to plan some trips!
