NonEU Citizens – Long-term Visa or Residence Permit Applying

NonEU citizens must apply for a long-term visa or a long-term residence card for the purpose of studying in the Czech Republic. 

An appointment at the respective embassy must be scheduled in order to apply for a long-term visa or residence permit. The appointment can be either scheduled by the applicant himself/herself OR applicants from certain listed countries can apply for an appointment at the Czech Embassy through a governmental project for visa facilitation called Režim Student. 

Preparing the verified copy of the Diploma/Graduation certificate and the Transcript of Records with the authentication and translation into English/Czech in a timely manner is crucial for the timely submission of a visa application when applying through the governmental project Režim Student. 

Režim Student – What it is and how it works

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. 

Note that it is more than recommended to arrange a visa appointment at the respective embassy in May at the very latest. The academic year starts in September, and visa approval takes 60–120 days

Especially applicants from India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Bhútán, Chad, Cameroon, Maledives, and Nepal, should apply for the visa AS SOON AS POSSIBLE once they receive a Letter of Acceptance because of the competition at the embassies in Abuja (Nigeria), Accra (Ghana) and New Delhi (India) which is enormous, and the appointment slots are very limited!

We encourage all applicants to visit the website of the respective Czech embassy for their country and learn in advance what documents are required when applying for a visa. 

Please visit also the website of the Ministry of Interior to learn what type of visa you can apply for. 

 


 

Recognition of Previous Foreign Education 

Applicants who have been accepted to the studies at the University of Chemistry and Technology must provide a Certificate of Recognition of Previous Foreign Education.

The Recognition of Previous Foreign Education is a process of verifying that the education level which you have completed abroad is equal to the education level required for studying at a university in the Czech Republic.

Providing a Certificate of Recognition of Previous Foreign Education is an indispensable requirement for enrollment in the studies at UCT Prague. 

Please visit the website Recognition of Foreign Education to learn how to obtain the Certificate.
