Non-EU nationals: The passport shall not be older than 10 years, it must contain at least 2 free pages and its validity must be at least 3 months longer than the validity of the long-term visa (which is usually issued with a validity of 1 year).

You can submit the online application without uploading a Certificate of Recognition, however, when filling in the online application, must choose a method of recognition based on where your Diploma / Graduation Certificate and Transcript of Records have been issued & if, in the Czech Republic, you intend to apply only to our university or to another higher education institution as well. 

In the online application you will find these options: 

1. A Document Deemed Automatically Equivalent Without Any Further Administrative Procedure = choose this option if your Certificate / Diploma has been issued in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, and Slovenia
2. A Document Proving the Awarding of a European Baccalaureate = choose this option if you have received a European Baccalaureate diploma
3. A Foreign Document Concerning a Foreign Education = choose this option if you haven't got a Nostrification/Recognition certificate yet.
   If you choose this option, the Certificate of Recognition of Previous Foreign Education will be issued by UCT Prague as a part of the admission process. The certificate issued by UCT Prague is valid only in UCT Prague, it cannot be used when applying to other Czech universities. 
   You will be guided by the admission officer on how to proceed.
4. A Document Proving General Recognition = choose this option if 1) you have gone through the process of Nostrification/Recognition, and you have already received an official Certificate of Nostrification from Prague City Hall, OR a Certificate of Recognition of Foreign Education from another educational institution in the Czech Republic, OR 2) if you have already started working on it

Režim Student is a governmental project designed to facilitate the visa procedure for selected students.  

On the website, the Ministry of Education publishes terms of when universities can nominate their students for the project. 

When nominating, the university must submit the following documents: 

•  Diploma/Graduation certificate and the Transcript of Records
• Certificate of Nostrification / Recognition Certificate / Confirmation of Accreditation of a study programme that the student graduated from issued by his/her school / IAU number of the university 

When students are nominated, the Ministry then has 3-5 working days to process the nominations and based on certain criteria choose, which nominations are successful.

If the nomination is successful, then the Embassy assigns an appointment – the appointment is usually assigned within 1–4 weeks. If the application for the visa is complete and all right, the Ministry of Interior then has 60 days to approve the visa. Then an appointment for visa collection is scheduled. 

It is advised to arrange an apostille/superlegalization as soon as possible, so you will have the documents ready when applying for the visa. Also, visit the website of the respective Czech embassy to learn the required documents to bring to a visa appointment.
