Visa Regulations
Important:
- Students from the EU do not need a visa!
- All students (also from EU) must register with the Czech Foreign Police (Consult with your faculty or Institute).
If you need a visa to get to the Czech Republic this is how you should proceed:
Once you have received all necessary documents (Letter of acceptance and a Confirmation for accommodation) apply for the visa at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in your country of origin. You will get visa application forms (in five main European languages) that are to be filled out with the help of the Embassy personnel.
There are two types of student visas, one for 90 days, and a long term visa issued for the period of your studies in the Czech Republic. For this type of student visa you must have the following documents:
- A valid passport
- A Letter of Acceptance (supplied by our university)
- A Financial Agreement or written Confirmation that you are a beneficiary of a study/research grant. You may need a letter from your bank with a statement assuring that you have sufficient financial means to fund your studies in the Czech Republic (the equivalent of approximately EUR 100. – per month)
- A Confirmation of guaranteed accommodation (supplied by our university)
- A valid Health insurance card
- A Certificate of absence of criminal records from your country of origin (This document is compulsory and must be translated into Czech by a qualified translator with an official stamp)
The Czech Foreign Police will examine your application and notify the Czech Consulate in your country of origin for the issue of a long term student visa. The whole procedure may take up to two months, so make provisions to get your visa on time. There is no chance to get a visa ad-hoc!
Students who need a visa and have not made the necessary provisions to get one in their country of origin cannot be registered.
