Applicants for student visa and long term resident permit for studies in the Czech Republic (more than 90 days) who received an official letter of acceptance for studies from one of the Faculties of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), may be nominated by the CZU International Relations Office for fast track interviews - Student Mode (Režim student) - at the Czech Embassy in their country of origin. Provided that the nomination is endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth of the Czech Republic, and accepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, the selected students will be contacted by the Czech Embassy Consular section in their country of origin (by email or by phone), and will eventually receive a fixed date for their long term resident visa interview and for submitting all the required documents.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- Applicants for a long term resident visa for the Czech Republic are not automatically eligible to be nominated for fast track interviews. CZU International Relations Office reserves the right to nominate students for the Student Mode (Režim student) at its own discretion and is not legally bound to nominate a student, particularly when the student is not recommended for nomination by the Study Office and/or International Relations Office at one of the CZU Faculties.
- A nomination for the Student Mode (Režim student) is by no means a guarantee that the applicant will actually receive a long term resident student visa.
- Only CZU International Relations Office is entitled to send nominations for Student Mode (Režim student) to the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth.
- The nominations are prepared by the relevant faculty study coordinators who provide the necessary support documents to the CZU IRO.
- Applicants for long term resident visas are not entitled to nominate themselves and have no legal right to be nominated.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
The Czech University of Life Sciences Prague is part of the Student Mode (Režim student) programme - a joint programme of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Interior for accelerating the visa process for applicants for study at CZU from countries included in the Student Mode (Režim student). CZU may nominate applicants to the Student Mode (Režim student) if their citizenship corresponds to the countries falling within the consular competence of embassies (see the list here). Applicants can participate in the Student Mode (Režim student) only in the country of which they are citizens. E.g. an applicant with Indian citizenship living in Russia may be included in the Student Mode (Režim student) only for the embassy in India, not in Russia.
The application for inclusion of applicants in the Student Mode (Režim student) is NOT SUBMITTED BY THE STUDENT, but by the university. The ADMITTING FACULTY must prepare the following documents (applies to students admitted to study the full degree study programme):
(a) decision on admission to study;
b) documents proving the verification of previous education and its provider (from 1 JAN 2024, previous education can not be older than 3 years), and documents proving language proficiency for the language of study (verified during admission procedure and at embassy interview).
These documents are usually prepared by the Study Department of the Faculty for programs in the Czech language and the Department of International Relations of the Faculty for programs in the English language.
For more information or in case of a request for nomination, contact your faculty (Study Department of the Faculty for Programs in the Czech Language and Department of International Relations of the Faculty for Programs in the English Language).
