Where is the Embassy of Burkina Faso — is there one in Prague?
Burkina Faso does not keep an embassy in Prague. The mission accredited to the Czech Republic is at
1030 Vienna, Strohgasse 14c —
see it on the map (
48.19836, 16.38336). There is no consulate of Burkina Faso inside the Czech Republic, so everything goes through that post.
Jakie są godziny otwarcia i czy muszę się wcześniej umówić?
The switchboard is open
09.00 – 13.00 14.00 – 16.00 /Mo-Fri/. Consular hours are usually shorter than the switchboard hours. Passport, visa and civil-status matters are almost always handled by appointment, so call
00431-503 82 64 or e-mail
s.r@abfvienne.at before you travel across the city. Missions close on Czech public holidays as well as on their own national day — for Burkina Faso that is
December 11 – Proclamation of the Republic.
Can I get married at the Embassy of Burkina Faso?
In the Czech Republic a legally binding marriage is performed by a Czech registry office (
matrika) or by a church authorised by the Czech state — not by a foreign embassy. A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether Burkina Faso is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call
00431-503 82 64 or e-mail
s.r@abfvienne.at. What the mission does do in almost every case is issue or authenticate the paperwork the Czech registry office asks a foreigner for. The whole procedure, venue by venue, is in our guide to
the legal requirements for getting married in the Czech Republic.
Which documents do I need from the Embassy of Burkina Faso to marry in Prague?
The Czech registry office asks a foreign national for a valid passport, a full birth certificate (the short version is not accepted), a
certificate of no impediment — the certificate of legal capacity to marry, which is the document your own authorities or your embassy issue — an affidavit of marital status sworn before a notary, and, if you were married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time. To ask which of these papers Burkina Faso issues for its citizens, call
00431-503 82 64 or e-mail
s.r@abfvienne.at. Our
step-by-step marriage guide lists the fees and the order to do things in.
Kogo zaangażować do sfotografowania ślubu lub ceremonii cywilnej w Pradze?
Zabierz własnego fotografa — ani ambasada, ani czeski urząd stanu cywilnego go nie zapewnia, a oba dają krótki, ściśle zaplanowany termin w niewielkiej sali, więc fotograf, który już pracował w takim miejscu, jest wart więcej niż duży obiektyw. Dwie praktyczne uwagi: misja to budynek objęty kontrolą bezpieczeństwa, więc z wyprzedzeniem zapytaj wydział konsularny, czy fotograf może wejść i czy jego imię oraz dokument tożsamości trzeba zgłosić przy wejściu; a jeśli sama ceremonia odbywa się w czeskim urzędzie stanu cywilnego, zapytaj w
matrika, gdzie fotograf może stanąć. Prowadzimy listę
fotografów pracujących w Pradze i najlepszych miejsc do zdjęć, mamy też przewodnik po
fotografii oświadczynowej w Pradze na chwilę przed formalnościami oraz
przewodnik po fotografii miejskiej do portretów, na których będzie Ci zależeć później — na Moście Karola lub w parku Letná.
Does the Embassy of Burkina Faso issue Czech visas?
No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by
Czech embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior — never by another country’s mission in Prague. The mission of Burkina Faso works the other way round: it serves citizens of Burkina Faso living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for Burkina Faso to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to
living in the Czech Republic covers permits, insurance and costs.
Mój paszport zaginął w Pradze — do kogo się zwrócić?
Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report — the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything. Then contact the mission: call
00431-503 82 64 or e-mail
s.r@abfvienne.at. Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it.
Is there a consulate of Burkina Faso outside Prague — in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň?
No. Burkina Faso runs a single office for the whole Czech Republic — the one listed on this page. Other countries do keep honorary consulates in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň; you can check any of them in the
full directory of missions.
Jak zadzwonić pod ten numer z zagranicy?
The number already carries its own international prefix: dial +4315038264. Note that this is not a Czech number, so it is not a local call from Prague. Every number on this page is a tap-to-call link.
Czy ambasada może zalegalizować moje dokumenty lub opatrzyć je apostille?
Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in Burkina Faso normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones — and only then presented to the consular section. Which route your particular paper takes depends on whether both countries are in the Hague Apostille Convention, so call
00431-503 82 64 or e-mail
s.r@abfvienne.at and describe the document before you pay for anything.
