Legal Conditions for International Students

General Information

Foreign  nationals  (with  exception  of EU members)  applying  to  study  in  the Czech  Republic  have  to  contact  the  Czech  embassy  or Ministry  of  Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic in order to obtain up-to-date information on visa requirements for study purposes.

Visa

Due to the Czech Republic’s membership of the EU, citizens of European Union  (EU)  countries  (Austria,  Belgium,  Bulgaria,  Cyprus,  Denmark,  Estonia, Finland, France Germany, Greece, Hungary,  Italy,  Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland,  Portugal, Romania,  Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden  and United Kingdom),  citizens of European Economic Area  (EEA)  countries  (Iceland,  Liechtenstein  and  Norway),  and  citizens  of Switzerland, do not require any visa for any type of visit or stay in the Czech Republic.

Foreign  nationals  from  outside  the EU  continue  to  need  a  visa. The  residency visa  for more  than 90 days  is valid  for 1 year and allows a  foreign citizen  to travel repeatedly  into and out of Czech  territory. The residence of foreign nationals  in  the  Czech  Republic  is  governed  by  the  Act  on  the  Residence  of

Aliens  in  the Territory of  the Czech Republic  (law no. 326/99,  as amended), which came into effect on 1st January 2000. Under the terms of this law,  it  is not  possible  for  first-time  visa  applicants  to  apply  for  a  student  visa  on  the territory of the Czech Republic, or even to pick up a visa they have previously

applied for. Students  therefore must apply for (and obtain) a visa before  their departure to the Czech Republic.
