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.

If the length of your stay is longer than 1 month you are oblidged to follow certain rules.

Long-term stay duties

If you intend to stay for more than 30 days you must register your address with the foreign police department. Our UCT Halls of Residence (or Dormitories) will fulfil this obligation for you. However, if you choose to move to a private apartment later on, you have to register with the foreign police yourself and show them your accommodation contract.

If you intend to stay for more than 3 months, you are entitled to apply for the issuing of a Registration certificate for EU citizens (Osvědčení o registraci občana EU)

Registration certificate for EU citizens

after 3 months of your stay, we recommend thet you apply for this registration certificate. You will need it when applying for a Czech birth number, driving licence, permanent residence stay, or registering your child at a public school. You will find it useful every time you are asked to prove your stay in the Czech Republic. The certificate is valid for 10 years.

Birth number ("rodné číslo")

is a Czech ID number given to all Czech residents and holders of resident cards. It is a registration number that you will be asked for when arranging administrative matters (e.g. signing an employment contract, filling-in tax returns, health and social security forms etc.)

The birth number and the Registration certificate are issued by the Immigration office of the Ministry of Interior (OAMP). The appointment at the Immigration office is arranged for you by the Mobility Coordinator.

Documents to provide for the application for Registration certificate for EU citizens:

  • Violet application 
  • A travel document/ID card - copy of the first page of your passport with your personal details and of all pages with stamps and/or visa
  • A document confirming the purpose of stay – your employment contract
  • 1 photo (passport size)
  • Proof of travel medical insurance – as an employee at UCT Prague you are insured by state company VZP. It is also possible to use your EHIC card.
  • Proof of accommodation
  • KOLEK (revenue stamp) in the amount of 200 CZK - stick it to the violet application form on the first page

 All documents shall not be older than 180 days except your passport and photo. It is necessary to use original documents or certified copies and all documents have to be translated to Czech.

Certified copies can be made at any post office with Czech POINT counter. You will show the original document and simple copy to the clerk and he/she will verify that the copy is the same as the original. There is a fee 30 CZK for every started page of the authenticated document sized A4 or less. Only your passport/ID card cannot be verified, so we will send just a simple copy of that.

You don´t have to go to the Ministry in person. It is possible to apply for this type of certificate by post.

As soon as you collect all necessary documents, contact your Mobility coordinator to check the application before sending it to the Ministry. 

As an EU citizen staying for longer than 30 days in the Czech Republic, you are obliged to report any changes (address, passport number, family status, name) at the Immigration office of MOI. For more information see Reporting changes section.

You also have to report passport loss or theft to the MOI office that is the closest to your registered residence, no matter if you are here for a short visit or a longer stay.

Family members of EU citizens ◳ RODINA-sq (png) → (ořez 215*215px)

It is important to differentiate if the family member of an EU citizen is an EU citizen or a third country national. Citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland have similar rights as EU citizens.

If you are a citizen of the United Kingdom please, see information about Brexit.

Family members who are EU citizens

Family members who are EU citizens are subject to the same rules as other EU citizens. They can enter the Czech Republic without a visa, using only their passport or identity card. They are also entitled to work here without any special permit.

If they intend to stay in the Czech Republic for more than 30 days they must register their address of stay with the foreign police department. If they live at the UCT Prague dormitories, this obligation is fulfilled automatically by the dormitory clerk.

If they decide to stay in the Czech Republic for more than 3 months we strongly recommend that they apply for a Temporary Residence permit for a family member of an EU citizen

Family members who are third country nationals

Family members of an EU citizen have the same rights as EU citizens. However, as third country nationals, they are not allowed to enter the Czech Republic without a Czech visa.

Prior to their arrival, they must apply for a short-term visa (Schenghen visa). The time delay for getting this type of visa should not exceed 1 month.

There is a 90/180 rule: the length of your stay should not exceed 90 days during any 180 day period. It is recommended to use the following calculator:

https://ec.europa.eu/assets/home/visa-calculator/calculator.htm?lang=

Some states are exempt from visa requirement, which means that their citizens can stay in the Czech Republic up to 3 months without any visa.

Holders of a residence permit for one of the Schenghen countries can also stay up to 3 months without any visa.

Please note that it is NOT possible to work based on the short-term visa.

Within the first 3 months of their arrival in the Czech Republic they must apply for a Temporary residence permit for a family member of an EU citizen

Health insurance in the EU and the Czech Republic

As a citizen of one of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland you have access to state-provided health care all across Europe. You receive full medical care in the country, where you are insured (usually the one, where you work). During a temporary stay in other EU countries and Switzerland you are entitled to medically necessary healthcare, provided you are a holder of the EHIC card (European Health Insurance Card).

As an employee at UCT, you will be registered by the Personnel department in the Czech state-provided health insurance system. New employees who do not yet have an insurance company in the Czech Republic are typically registered with the company VZP (less often they can be registered with another insurance company). The health insurance premium will be paid monthly by UCT Prague and you will receive a blue EHIC card issued by the relevant Czech insurance company.

Below you can find more information about the EHIC card and other variants of health insurance cards, including information for those, who are insured in another EU country and are temporarily living in the Czech Republic.

EHIC card

An EHIC card is a proof that you are insured in one of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.

The EHIC card gives you free access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in another EU country under the same conditions and at the same cost as people insured in that country. However, while travelling, we recommend you to take an extra travel insurance, as the EHIC card covers only medically necessary healthcare.

You can check the validity of your insurance card here: https://eforms.zpmvcr.cz/ehic/

If you have any kind of questions, please don't hesitate to contact your UCT coordinator or to check the FAQ's: https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=857&langId=en&intPageId=1304

Here is a sample of a standard EHIC card issued by VZP ČR to Czech citizens and EU/EEA and Switzerland citizens who carry out the substantial part of their working activities in the Czech Republic or who have permanent residence in the Czech Republic.

Secondment in the Czech Republic: the yellow health insurance card

If you are sent by your university, that continues to pay you a salary, for long-term secondment or fellowship (maximum length of 2 years) to a university in the Czech Republic, and you move your habitual residence to the Czech Republic, you should register with a health insurance provider here.

 

Before your departure, apply at the social security institution in the country where you are employed for certificate A1. (This certificate confirms your employer is paying the social security insurance for you during your secondment/fellowship.)

With the A1 certificate, you can apply at your health insurance provider for the S1 certificate.

After arrival to the Czech Republic you should visit a Czech insurance company that is part of the state-provided healthcare system (typically VZP) and register there with the S1 certificate and your EHIC card. You will receive a yellow health insurance card that entitles you to a full medical care in the Czech Republic.

 

Below are samples of yellow VZP ČR cards issued to persons who are temporarily living in the Czech Republic and their state-provided health insurance is paid in another EU/EEA country or Switzerland. VZP ČR is their Czech auxiliary health insurance company and they will be entitled to a type of healthcare specified on the card. This yellow card is only valid in the Czech Republic and VZP ČR charges insurance company in the member state, where the insurance is paid, for any medical care provided in the Czech Republic. The yellow card has several variations according to the residence status of the EU national in the territory of the Czech Republic. The range of medical care is specified on the card.  Read more on the web page of VZP ČR.

BREXIT is an abbreviation for the process of terminating the membership of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the European Union.

The basic fact is that after the transition period (as of 31.12.2020) UK citizens cannot be considered EU citizens.

UK citizens currently living in the Czech Republic:

It is highly recommended to apply for one of these types of residence:

    For more information please follow the Guide for UK citizens.

    UK citizens coming after the transition period (after 31.12.2020)

    All UK citizens will have a visa-free regime, according to the Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 November 2018 about the Schengen area, allowing them to enter the Czech Republic without a visa and to stay up to 3 months. There is a so called "90/180 rule": they can stay up to 90 days during a 180-day period. However, they may not work (or study) without a visa during this short stay.

    If they intend to stay for more than 90 days, as third-country nationals they have to apply for a long-term residence permit.

    Health insurance

    The UK nationals have to pay commercial health insurance or use public health insurance paid by their employer.

    Job market access

    UK citizens with a residence card in the Czech Republic on or before the 31st December 2020 will keep the same right to work, as long as they remain residents in the Czech Republic.

    UK citizens who apply for a job after the 31st December 2020 and don’t have a valid residence card are subject to the rules for third-country nationals.

    Money and tax:

    The UK has a double taxation agreement with the Czech Republic. Existing double taxation arrangements for UK nationals living in the Czech Republic have not changed.

    A relevant tax authority should reply to all questions related to the double taxation relief.

    If you are an EU citizen and pursue employed or self-employed activities in two or more member states, at the same time or in alternation, you have to determine only one member state of which the social security legislation applies to you.

    [ikona] => [obrazek] => 0005~~cw01AgA.jpg [ogobrazek] => [pozadi] => [obsah] =>

    You have to confirm this fact with the  A1 certificate that you present to your employers, so that they know in which Member State your social and health insurance premium and statutory employer's liability insurance will be paid and where you can claim your social benefits. You must also inform about this fact or any changes the appropriate social security institution in the country of your residence.

    Rules to determine applicable social security legislation

    Determining which social security system is applicable to persons working in two or more member states or to self-employed persons is governed by rules  in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009, which lays down the procedure for implementing these rules.

    In a situation where you normally work as an employee, the first step is determining whether you carry out a substantial part (i.e. >25 %) of your activities in the Member State in which you reside. In Article 1, point (j) of Regulation No 883/2004 the residence is defined as the place where a person has his/her habitual residence.

    The criteria for determining a substantial part of employment activities is either the proportion of working hours or the amount of renumeration expected in the following 12 calendar months.
    The elements for determining residence are set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009: ◳ State_of_residence_1 (png) → (originál)

    Article 13 Paragraph 1 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 states that the legislation of the Member State of residence applies. As a result, foreign employers from EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, or you yourself if you are self-employed, are obliged to pay social and health insurance premiums from incomes from other countries to the social security system of the country of residence.

    If the answer is no,

    then Article 13 Paragraph 1 states that a person normally working in two or more Member States is subject to the legislation of the Member State determined according to the following criteria: ◳ State_of_residence_2 (png) → (originál)

    Determining the country of applicable social security legislation is often a complicated matter.

    When concluding an employment contract with you, UCT Prague, as your employer, needs to know where you will carry out a substantial part of your activities and where your habitual residence is or will be.

    If you will not be carrying out a substantial part of your activities at UCT Prague and/or your residence is/will be in another Member State, the Personnel department will ask you to present a PD A1 certificate, which specifies the Member State to whose social security legislations you will be subject to. UCT Prague is then obligated to pay from your income contributions to social and health insurance premiums and statutory employer's liability insurance to the system of that country, at rates set by the rules of that country, to whose legislation you are subject to according to your PD A1 certificate.

    In case you work part-time at UCT Prague and you will start working in another Member State, it is necessary to determine, according to the criteria laid down in the Regulation EC 883/2004 and its implementing rules, the EC Regulation No. 987/2009, the Member State to whose legislation you will be subject to. Report this fact without any delay to the Personnel department. In case of change of the country whose social security legislation you are subject to, UCT Prague is obligated to pay social security contributions from your salary (or renumeration from part-time employment contracts) to the system of the country determined in the PD A1 certificate issued by the social security agency of the country to which you are/will be subject to.

    If UCT Prague does not do so, it risks arrears on foreign social security and is subject to fines for not complying with the rules of the Coordination Regulations. In extreme cases, UCT Prague may claim compensation for damages incurred from you.

    COURSERA Video  "Pursuit of activities in two or more Member States"

    Third country nationals (you are not an EU citizen)

    • EU coordination rules

    If you have a long-term residence permit in the Czech Republic for the purpose of scientific research and you perform a substantial part of your activities at UCT Prague, the Coordination Rules apply to you in the same way as to Czech employees of UCT Prague. The UCT Prague will have to pay contributions for social and health insurance premiums and the statutory employer's liability insurance to the system of the Czech Republic, and if you legally reside in the Czech Republic, you will be entitled to social benefits (excluding unemployment benefits).

    If you legally reside in any EU Member State and you are in a situation that is not limited to a single Member State, e.g. you work for another organisation in another EU Member State, you will again be subject to the Coordination Regulation under Article 1 that expands upon the Regulation (EU) No 1231/2010. However, it does not apply to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, the EEA countries and Switzerland.

    • Pursuit of activities in the Czech Republic and third countries

    Bilateral social security agreements have been concluded between the Czech Republic and some third countries.

    If you are a national of a contracting country or are a Czech citizen and will carry out activities in its territory, the rules laid down in the respective bilateral agreement will apply to you. The Czech Republic has concluded agreements with the following third countries:

    Albania, Australia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Serbia, South Korea, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, USA.

    It is required to pay attention to which area of social security is covered by the relevant agreement; it does not have to cover the entire scope of social security as the EU Coordination Regulation. Some agreements do not include health insurance, but only pension insurance.

    An overview of bilateral agreements and their scope can be found on the website of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic. Information on bilateral agreements concerning health insurance can be obtained from the Health Insurance Bureau (Kancelář zdravotního pojištění).

    • Non-contracting countries

    If you carry out activities in a country that has not concluded an agreement on social security with the Czech Republic, the basic rule is that the person pursuing activity in this country is subject to the legal regulations of the country of work.

    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.

    To verify your highest university education before concluding an employment contract, you will need to submit to the Personnel Department the original of your university diploma or its certified copy with an apostille or superlegalization depending on the country in which the diploma was issued.

    If the diploma is not in Czech or English, it is necessary to present its officially certified translation.

    If you will also study at UCT Prague, you will need nostrification or recognition of your bachelor's or master's degree from a foreign university. How to proceed is described on the website https://www.vscht.cz/arrangements-for-the-recognition

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.

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.

      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.

          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:

          UNIQA

          AXA

          Slavia

          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):

          Pojišťovna VZP, a.s.

          UNIQA

          AXA

          Slavia

           

          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.

          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.

          To verify your highest university education before concluding an employment contract, you will need to submit to the Personnel Department the original of your university diploma or its certified copy with an apostille or superlegalization depending on the country in which the diploma was issued.

          If the diploma is not in Czech or English, it is necessary to present its officially certified translation.

          If you will also study at UCT Prague, you will need nostrification or recognition of your bachelor's or master's degree from a foreign university. How to proceed is described on the website https://www.vscht.cz/arrangements-for-the-recognition
