VISA

If I’m from a non-EU country or don’t have a Schengen visa I will have to ask at Czech embassy for a long-term visa.

Each country has different requirements, I will have to check them with the embassy.

The faculty can provide me with admission papers (acceptance letter) and a contract with dormitories (confirmation of accommodation is required for a visa application), but the faculty is not responsible for the visa arrangement; it is the applicant's duty. 

The visa process may take up to three months.
