THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE FILLED OUT USING LATIN ALPHABET AND BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS.

The application has to be filled out in advance, before meeting an embassy worker in person. It has to be submitted in person at the embassy/consulate general of the Czech Republic.

Applying for a visa, in most cases, involves a short interview, during which a consular official asks you a few questions (see Step 4. Interview for a student visa to the Czech Republic).

If you do not have enough space in the corresponding boxes, state the information in a separate attachment. Take an A4 sheet of paper, title it „Zvláštní příloha k tiskopisu žádosti o vízum k pobytu nad 90 dnů“. Indicate the number of the section(s) where there was not enough space, and write all the necessary information. Do not forget that you need to write in Czech (block Latin alphabet letters). Write the date and sign the attachment.
