Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

For stays of more than 90 days, Czechia issues national long-stay visas (Type D) under its own rules — commonly for work, study, family reunification and residence. Unlike the shared short-stay visa, these routes, their eligibility, fees and processing are set nationally.
