Which One Do I Need?

If you are staying for less than 1 year

We recommend choosing a Long-Term Visa for the Purpose of Studies as it can be extended only up to one year (12 months) and cannot be extended any further. However, the only obligation you have after obtaining one and arriving in the Czech Republic is to report at the Foreign Police station.

  • Exchange programs, Internships...

If you are staying for more than 1 year

We recommend choosing a Long-Term Residence Permit for the Purpose of Studies as it can be extended repeatedly without the need for transferring. You will, however, have to contact Welcome Office to have your biometric scanning appointment scheduled.

  • Full degree Studies, Doctoral Studies, Language Preparatory Programs...

Still not Sure?

Don't worry, if you are still unsure which one to choose, you can alway contact us via email welcome@upol.cz or visit us in our office at Vodární 6, Olomouc.
