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.
At this juncture, applicants may benefit from dedicated third-party assistance. VisaHQ, through its Czech Republic portal (https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/), can streamline document checks, arrange certified translations and monitor slot releases in real time, reducing the risk of last-minute rejection. Their advisers can also coordinate courier hand-offs for passports, ensuring compliance even when time zones and embassy schedules collide.
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.
Given persistent labour shortages in Czech agriculture, some growers are diversifying sourcing to Georgia and Kazakhstan, where embassy capacity is higher. Mobility teams should track the Tashkent registration window and prepare contingency labour pipelines.
