The Czech Embassy in Tashkent will open electronic registration for February 2026 seasonal-employment visa applications on 8 January, the mission announced on 19 December. Registration will be open from 08:30 to 14:30 local time and will include a random-selection element to discourage bot activity.
Only a handful of dossiers can be accepted each month because of staffing limits, so Uzbek recruiters are advising candidates to pre-scan all documents and rehearse the upload sequence to improve chances of selection. Failure to secure a slot could delay travel until March, missing key spring-planting work in Czech horticulture.

The embassy’s notice links to updated Ministry of the Interior guidance clarifying that employers must provide proof of accommodation and health insurance for the full six-month visa term. Mobility managers should review housing contracts in advance, as consular officers have recently rejected leases lacking notarised Czech translations.
With labour shortages persisting in Czech agriculture and food processing, the seasonal-work channel remains a critical talent pipeline; however, companies may wish to diversify sourcing to Georgia or Kazakhstan, where embassy capacities are larger.
