The Czech Embassy in Tashkent will open e-registration on 8 January for February 2026 seasonal-employment visas, giving Uzbek workers a six-hour window to upload documents before a random-selection lottery closes.
Staffing constraints mean only a handful of applications are accepted each month. Recruiters are advising candidates to pre-scan passports, rehearse the upload sequence and ensure notarised Czech translations of leases and insurance policies are ready. Missing the cut-off could postpone travel until March, jeopardising Czech horticulture’s spring-planting schedule.

VisaHQ’s Czech-specialist team reports heightened scrutiny of employer accommodation contracts, with several dossiers rejected recently for untranslated clauses. Employers are therefore urged to review housing documents early or risk black-listing of unused slots.
