Applications for A-1, A-2, and G-1 through G-4 visas for Czech nationals must be submitted to the U.S. Embassy Consular Section through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Foreign national applications for A-1 and A-2 visas may be submitted by courier to the U.S. Embassy Consular Section from accredited diplomatic missions in the Czech RepublicA diplomatic note must accompany all A-1, A-2, and G1 through G-4 visa applications.

Applications for G-1 through G-4 visas may be submitted directly to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. All G-1 through G-4 visa applications must be accompanied by a diplomatic note or, for international organizations, an official letter requesting the issuance of a G visa.
