[obsah] => The University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague) works continuously to deepen its international integration. It actively supports international cooperation in the field of education, science, and research, both with European and non-European partners.
UCT Prague considers international cooperation in research and the educational field to be a necessary condition for maintaining and further developing the level of these areas. Student mobilities, both outward and inward, the creation and implementation of joint study programs and the internationalization of other areas of university life create an inspiring environment at UCT Prague, in which new stimuli are created for improving the level and forms and methods of teaching our students, for improving conditions for studies, for the development of the activities of students and academic staff and the expansion of all forms of international cooperation. Similarly, international contacts in the field of science and research are also a source for the development of UCT Prague's science and research activities.
The cornerstones of international activities are inter-institutional cooperation agreements, joint study programs with foreign universities, mobility of students and employees within the Erasmus+ program and other international programs, and international scientific and research projects.
International cooperation of UCT Prague is coordinated by the Department of International Relations in cooperation with the Project Centre and Research and Technology Transfer Office and the relevant vice-rectors.

[obsah] =>
- Invitation letter
In some cases you might need an Invitation letter (for visa purposes, for your university). Please contact your host person or the Mobility Coordinator at UCT Prague.
- Valid passport
- Finances
Please make sure that you have sufficient funds at your disposal after your arrival. Although it is not complicated to open a bank account in the Czech Republic (if you already don’t have an IBAN=International Bank Account Number), you will need to make some payments the first days after your arrival. You can open the bank account after signing the work contract.
You will be asked by the Czech embassy when getting your visa to purchase a commercial health insurance (comprehensive) valid for the first month of your stay in the Czech Republic. Afterwards you are insured by the title of your employment. In case you are not employed at UCT Prague you will be asked to purchase health insurance for the whole length of your stay.
You should bring with you a filled and signed Medical history form, as well as report from your general practitioner and medical test results (requirements will be sent to you by the Mobility Coordinator). Please keep the payment receipt confirmation for reimbursement.
- Fill-in the UCT registration form
Before your arrival, you will be asked to fill-in a registration form in the UCT Prague mobility system Mobis. The link will be sent to you by the Mobility Coordinator.
- Accommodation
If you wish to stay at the Residence Halls of UCT Prague, the mobility coordinator will book a room for you where you can stay for up to 3 months. It is highly recommended to start looking for private accommodation during this period. We can provide you with links and useful information about renting an appartment in Prague or its surroundings.
Short-term stay (up to 90 days)
You will need a short-term visa (Schenghen visa). If you are exempt from visa requirement, you can stay up to 3 months without a visa. The time delay for getting this type of visa should not exceed 1 month.
There is an obligation to register your address with the Foreign Police department no later than 3 days after your arrival. Hotels, dorms or hostels usually fullfill this obligation for you.
If you have come to the Czech Republic to pick-up a long-term or a permanent residence card, you fullfill this obligation directly at the Ministry of the Interior while providing biometric data for your card.
There is a 90/180 rule: the length of your stay should not exceed 90 days during any 180 days period. It is recommended to use the Schengen calculator.
If you are a holder of a residence permit in one of the Schenghen countries, you can stay in the Czech Republic for up to 3 months without any visa. You may not work based on this type of visa.
If you are a holder of a residence permit with the purpose of scientific research issued by another EU country (except Ireland and Denmark), you can stay and work in the Czech Republic as a researcher up to 1 year without any visa, as long as your residence permit from another EU country is still valid. You must as well provide a signed hosting agreement from UCT Prague, and intend to temporarily stay in the Czech Republic for more than 3 months. If you wish to ask for a residence permit with the purpose of scientific research in the Czech Republic later on, you are entitled to submit your application at the Ministry of the Interior in the Czech Republic under the condition that you plan to stay longer than 1 year. The same conditions are valid for your family members.
Long-term stay (more than 90 days) with a purpose of scientific research
You will need a long-term visa or a residence permit. As a researcher, you will apply for a Long-term residence permit for the purpose of scientific research. The validity of this permit is a maximum of 2 years.
We recommend you start preparing documents for the visa application 3 - 4 months prior to your planned arrival. You will have to submit all requested documents to the Czech Embassy abroad before they start processing your application.
For your visa application, you will need:
(the Mobility Coordinator will send it to you), it must be submitted in original signed by the Rector of UCT and yourself
(the Mobility Coordinator will send it to you), it must be submitted in original signed by the Rector of UCT
(the Mobility Coordinator will send it to you), it must be submitted in original signed by the accommodation provider and yourself
- Criminal record
Also called the Extract from the Penal register record, Police clearance certificate or Certificate of good conduct. It must be provided from the country of your citizenship stated in your passport and from all countries you have lived in over the past 3 years for more than 6 months. Sometimes you can get this document at the Embassy but the conditions vary from country to country. The document must always be translated into Czech. For this purpose, you will need an official / certified translation. Some Czech Embassies require a higher verification of the document, so called apostille or superlegalization. If you have doubts whether you need such kind of verification, please contact the Mobility Coordinator. Make sure that this document is not older than 180 days.
- Travel document (passport)
shall not be older than 10 years, it must contain at least 2 free pages and its validity must be at least 1 year at the time of submission
- 2 passport pictures
35 x 45 mm
- GREEN application form
Can be downloaded here, the official name is "Long-Term and Permanent Residence Permit Form".
Should be filled-out and printed in colour. You can contact our Mobility Coordinator for assistance with filling in the form.
- Getting the visa
You will have to pay visa and other consular fees which you will find on the web pages of a relevant Czech Embassy abroad.
Once you have your documents ready, you will make an appointment at the Czech Embassy in the country of your citizenship, where you will file an application for a Long-term residence permit for the purpose of scientific research. If you are a holder of a residence permit in a different country, you can apply there as well. As a researcher, you should get an appointment within 14 days and the processing of your visa application takes a maximum of 60 days.
After the approval, you will be contacted by the Embassy to collect your visa and submit proof of a medical health insurance valid from the date of entry until the date you will be covered by the public health insurance in case you will be employed. At this moment you can start booking your flight.
After your arrival you will be in contact with your Mobility Coordinator, who will book an appointment for you at the Ministry of the Interior, where you will provide your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and register your address. Usually it is done 3 days after your arrival. Your residence card will be ready within approximately 2 weeks. You will have a D/VR visa in your passport, which is a visa for the purpose of collecting your long term residence permit. Based on this, you can be employed before having your residence card.
Family members from non-EU countries
We will help you with obtaining visas for your family members as well.
The spouse/partner and children are entitled to file an application for a long-term residence permit for the purpose of family reunification (with a scientific researcher) = Sloučení rodiny s vědeckým výzkumníkem.
Other family members should file an application for a visa for the purpose of family.
Long-term residence permit for the purpose of family reunification :
The advantage of this type of permit is a shorter approval time limit (60 days).
The basic requirement for this type of permit is a marriage certificate for spouse/partner, a birth certificate for a child and a criminal record for both (children under 15 years are exempt). Besides the certified translation into Czech, a higher verification, so called apostille or superlegalization might be required as well.
Once you all live in the Czech Republic and the time comes for the permits to be extended, we will again provide you with the documents needed for the application.

If they are holders of a residence permit in a different country, they can apply there as well. As a family member of a researcher, they should get an appointment within 14 days and the processing of their visa application takes a maximum of 60 days.
After the visa approval, they will be contacted by the Embassy to pick-up their visa and to submit a proof of a medical health insurance valid for the whole period of their stay.
Make sure to buy the health insurance only if the application has been approved.
After the arrival the UCT Mobility coordinator will book an appointment for them at the Ministry of the Interior, where they will provide their biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and register their address. Usually it is done 3 days after the arrival. The residence card will be ready within approximately 2 weeks. In their passport they will have a D/VR visa which is a visa for the purpose of collecting the long term residence permit.
Residence permit issued by another EU country
If the researcher is a holder of a valid residence permit with the purpose of scientific research issued by another EU country (except Ireland and Denmark), their family members, who are also holders of a valid residence permit issued by another EU country, can stay in the Czech Republic for up to 1 year without any visa. If they wish to ask for a residence permit with the purpose of family reunification in the Czech Republic later on, they are entitled to do so at the Visa Centre of the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Dresden.

As a researcher employed at UCT you are insured during the whole period of your employment. UCT is paying the health insurance for you. You will receive the health insurance card from the Personnel Department in the first weeks of your stay in Prague. Usually, employees from non-EU countries receive a green health insurance card – this card is only valid in the Czech Republic, not in other EU states. Holders of this card are members of the state-provided health insurance system and receive the same health care services as the Czech citizens.
If you are a guest researcher and you are not employed at UCT, you are obliged to pay for the health insurance yourself. If you arrive to the Czech Republic based on long-term residence permit with purpose of scientific research, you can register at a Czech insurance company and become a member of the state-provided health insurance. You will have to do the registration yourself and you will have to pay the fees (currently CZK 2 336/month). You can ask your UCT Mobility Coordinator for assistance with the registration.
In other cases, you are obliged to buy commercial insurance in the scope of comprehensive healthcare (see below information for family members).
If you are not sure which rules apply to you or need additional assistance, please contact your Mobility coordinator.
Travel health insurance on arrival to the Czech Republic
Before entering the Czech Republic, you are obliged to buy commercial or travel health insurance that covers the starting period of your stay: from the date of entry to the territory of the Czech Republic until the first day of your employment.
We recommend to buy this insurance only after your visa has been approved (not when applying).
When your visa is approved, the Czech embassy will provide you information on the type of insurance and the length of the required period. We recommend to take commercial or travel insurance for 1 month, or longer in case the embassy asks for a longer period.
When collecting your visa, you will be asked to submit the insurance’s Terms and Conditions in Czech and in some cases also a proof of payment for the insurance.
The insurance must be contracted with a provider specifically certified to provide such insurance within the Czech territory. We recommend to use one of the Czech companies or branch offices in the Czech Republic.
According to the new rules (starting October 2023) the insurance needs to have the minimum coverage limit of EUR 400 000. As most travel insurance products do not offer this high coverage limit, you will need to buy a comprehensive health insurance.
Czech companies that currently offer this kind of insurance in the short-term duration (minimum 1 month) are:
Please note that this list may not be complete as the offer of available products is changing over time.
You may apply online and receive all related documents anywhere in the world.
Read more details on the web page of EURAXESS Czech Republic.
Please note that some countries and categories of citizens are exempt from this obligation.
Health insurance for family members of researchers
In case your family members are coming with you, they are obliged to purchase health insurance themselves and they need to prove it before receiving the visa.
Spouses of researchers need to purchase a comprehensive health insurance for the whole period of their stay. They can arrange the insurance with any insurance company authorized to provide it in the Czech Republic. The contracted limit has to be at least EUR 400 000.
Some companies providing comprehensive insurance in the Czech Republic (please note that this list is not complete, as the offer of available products can change over time):
Starting 1.1.2024 underage children become members of the state-provided healthcare system on the day they receive their residence card. Their legal guardian needs to register the child during 8 days after receiving the residence card at a Czech health insurance company that is part of the state-provided healthcare system (typically VZP). The legal guardians need to pay for the insurance according to the currently set price (CZK 2336/month as of October 2023).
Before receiving your visa, you will need to buy comprehensive health insurance for your child for the first 90 days of their stay.
Information for researchers, who already have a valid comprehensive insurance for their children: if you have an insurance contract with pVZP for your child, the best option is to wait until the contract with pVZP expires and afterwards change to the state-provided healthcare system. In this case, you need to register your child with the new insurance company latest 8 days before your contract with pVZP expires.
Insurance companies that participate in the state-provided healthcare system:
Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna České republiky – VZP
state-owned, English website
Vojenská zdravotní pojišťovna České republiky

The purpose of the Apostille and superlegalization is to credibly prove the fact that a document issued abroad and submitted for official purposes was verified by the pertinent body of the state whose body issued the document (Apostille) and, if required, superlegalised by the Czech Embassy. The authenticity of the official stamp and signature on the document is therefore verified, not the content of the document itself.
[ikona] => [obrazek] => 0001~~C3KM8gzx9gcA.png [ogobrazek] => [pozadi] => [obsah] =>What type of document usually needs Superlegalization or Apostille?
Documents issued by courts and authorities abroad that are valid in the place of issue as public documents such as:
- Birth certificate
- Marriage certificate
- Diploma (for students or for purpose of nostrification)
- Criminal record
- Contracts
- Extract from the Commercial Register
- Certificate of taxable incomes
- Certificate of the tax-payer's residence
1. Apostille
The Apostille is a specialized certificate, attached to your original document which is issued by the competent authorities designated by the government of the state. Here is a list of the offices of each state that are competent to issue an Apostille.
The Apostille is required for all documents submitted for official purposes from countries that have acceded to the Hague Convention and must be officially translated into the Czech language.
The list of the signatories of the cited convention can be found here.
With some states the Czech Republic has signed an Agreement on Legal Assistance in Civil and Family Affairs. These agreements specify documents that can be used at the Czech authorities without further verification. These documents only need an official translation into the Czech language.
The list of the signatories of the above agreement can be found here.
The document is exempt from further verification if it’s issued by diplomatic representatives or consular officers of states that are signatories to the European Convention on the Abolition of Legalisation of Documents Executed by Diplomatic Agents or Consular Officers. This exception to superlegalization likewise concerns documents issued or confirmed by the pertinent foreign consulates if a bilateral consular treaty has been signed.
2. Superlegalization
Superlegalization is the highest degree of authentication of a public document which allows it’s use abroad. It is done at the Czech Embassy or at the Czech Ministry of Foreign affairs.
If the document was issued by a state with which the Czech Republic does not have an Agreement on legal assistance in civil and family affairs and this state has not acceded to the Convention on Abolishing the Requirements for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, the Hague Convention, then the foreign document must be provided with superlegalization and an official translation into the Czech language
First step is to verify the public document at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or a competent authority to issue an Apostille in your home country (or the country where it was issued).
Second step is to make a certified (official) translation of the public document into the Czech language.
Third step is to submit this translated document for verification at the Czech Embassy (which represents the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs will verify the stamps and signature of the competent authority of your home country. This final step is called the superlegalization. It is usually done during your appointment at the Czech Embassy.
