Leaving the country

Students who have finished their studies and plan to leave the Czech Republic should complete a few final steps before departure. Doing so also helps if you plan to visit the EU in the future.
Before You Go
- Return your residence document (see “Departure Order” below).
- Settle local obligations, including the municipal waste management fee and deregister from the register of payers of the waste collection fee.
- Check your passport validity and keep copies of key documents.
- Close your bank account.
Departure Order (Výjezdní příkaz) 
A departure order lets you stay in the Czech Republic only for the time necessary to handle urgent matters and depart. You must hand in your long-term residence card/permit for the specific purpose (long-term or Schengen visas cannot be exchanged).The permitted stay is at least 30 days, unless stated otherwise.
When to Request
- If you are leaving the country after your studies.
- If your residence document has expired.
Sustainability (Free Shop) 
Should a student decide to get rid of equipment or belongings that no longer fulfill a purpose in their lives, they are presented with the opportunity to contribute these items to the Free Shop. The Free Shop, a unique service provided within the institution, operates as a centralized hub where students can altruistically donate an array of equipment and clothing. These contributions, generously made by fellow students, form a pool of resources that are subsequently made accessible to other members of the student body. This initiative highlights the institution's commitment to resource-sharing and responsible consumption, showcasing its ethos of sustainability and compassion.
What You Can Donate
- Clean clothing, shoes, accessories
- Small household items (dishes, utensils, hangers)
- Light dorm essentials (lamps, extension cords, stationery)
How It Works
- Bring usable items to the Free Shop drop-off point.
- Donations are made available free of charge to other students.
- It’s a simple way to support resource-sharing and reduce waste.
