!!!Students from EU do not need visa!!!

Information about VISA policy: http://www.mvcr.cz/mvcren/article/immigration.aspx

When you have received the necessary documents (a Letter of acceptance and a Confirmation of the accommodation) from us you can apply for a visa at the relevant Czech Embassy/Consulate in your home country. Theoretically, you can apply at any Czech Consulate but there are limitations. Please contact the relevant Consulate for details. You will receive the application forms (in five main European languages) from us together with other documents, or they are available at the Consulates. Copies may not be used.

You have to visit the Consulate and complete the form there with the help of their personnel. In justified cases the application can be submitted by post. Again, contact the relevant consulate. There are two types of student visa, one for up to 90 days, the other for a stay over 90 days. You have to submit the following documents for a stay over 90 days:

• 1  a travel document
• 2  a letter of acceptance (supplied by our office)
• 3  a financial agreement or other form of confirmation by your university that you have received a grant, or a confirmation from your bank that you have sufficient financial means to fund your period of study in the Czech Republic.
• 4  confirmation of guaranteed accommodation in CR (supplied by our office)
• 5  You might be required to have a health insuarance arranged by a Czech insurance company and submit it when you collect your visa. CTU in Prague recommends you Maxima a.s.
  
• 6  confirmation of absence of a criminal record in your home country (This document might be required by the local embassy.)

• 7 2+2 photographs
  The Czech Police will process your application and then notify the Consulate that they can issue a visa. This visa will be stamped in your passport. The entire procedure takes 6-8 weeks (including postal deliveries) and you will have to visit the Consulate a second time with your passport. It is no longer possible to pick up your visa in the Czech Republic, and no exceptions can be made!!!

Students who fail to present this visa cannot be registered as students, and do not have access to regular student benefits. CTU is not consulted on the formulation or implementation of this law, to which it is subjected. CTU and the other universities have made repeated representations to have it rationalised.

The entire procedure takes approx. 8 weeks.
