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.

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
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

If you are a holder of a residence permit in a different country, you can apply there as well.

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).

Prague is a favourite tourist destination and offers a wide variety of interesting places to visit and possibilities how to spend free time. Here is a summary of starting tips for any newcomer.
For more tips on what to visit in Prague and in the Czech Republic you can check the Visit Czechia website developed by the Czech Tourism Authority.
[ikona] => [obrazek] => [ogobrazek] => [pozadi] => [obsah] =>Prague in the Middle Ages:
Prague became an important centre during the rule of dukes of house Přemysl. Both a trading settlement in today’s Malá Strana and the rotunda of St. Wenceslaus in the Prague Castle can be dated back to the 10th century. Foundation of the castle Vyšehrad occurred in the latter half of the same century. Prague became a a fortified city in the 13th century in the High Middle Ages.
Prague was further expanded and in general developed during the rule of Charles IV, when it was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
The historical centre of Prague, full of the atmosphere of medieval streets that reminisce the old trade routes, opulent royal processions, knightly tournaments, and Hussite upheaval, is listed in as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The main landmarks of Czech statehood are the Prague Castle and Vyšehrad.
The premises of the Prague Castle consist of numerous historical palaces, churches, and the cathedral of St. Vitus, that bear traces of the rule of the Czech kings and princes throughout the centuries. If we want to get and idea of the authentic atmosphere of the centuries past, we can go to Zlatá ulička or to Nový svět. There are also numerous exhibitions, galleries, and various cultural events in the premises of the Prague Castle. Also worth mentioning are the baroque terrace gardens beneath the Prague Castle, which were part of the noble palaces built below the castle in Malá Strana.
Another landmark of Prague, Vyšehrad – a hillfort above the river Vltava – is part of the Czech mythology from its earliest times.
Many eminent Czech figures are buried in the Vyšehrad Cemetery, which also houses the oldest rotunda in Prague, the rotunda of St. Martin.
Charles Bridge, the oldest bridge in Prague dating back to the 14th century, connects both banks of the river Vltava. It is named after its founder, Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Statues of saints flanking both sides of the bridge are from the baroque period. The most popular is the statue of St. Jan Nepomucký, who – according to legend – was thrown off this very bridge.
Prague’s Old Town is the true heart of Prague, settled since the 11th century, is along with the Prague Castle the oldest part of the city. At its centre is the Old Town square. Part of the Old Town is still based on the original medieval ground plan, whose narrow passages are surrounded by houses with oftentimes an interesting, intriguing, and mysterious history. The Old Town Square is often cited as the most beautiful town square in Europe. Its main attraction is Orloj, a medieval mechanical clock with moving figures of apostles. The Old Town Square is interesting for more reasons that just that however and has an unmistakable and lengthy history. It was witness to several important historical events and even today is the centre of affairs in Prague. The Old Town Hall was founded as the centre of administration for the Old Town of Prague.
Karolinum, the site of the Charles University – the oldest Czech university dating back to the 14th century – is not far from the Old Town Square.
Josefov (also known as the Jewish quarter) is the most preserved complex of Jewish historic sights in Central Europe.
Jewish merchants and moneylenders made their home in Prague since the 10th century. The Jewish population governed itself from the outset, having their own schools and synagogues. The Old New Synagogue from the last quarter of the 13th century was the main synagogue of the Jewish community in Prague. Other synagogues in Prague include Pinkas Synagogue, Maisel Synagogue, and the Spanish Synagogue. The Old Jewish Cemetery is called Beth-chaim, “House of Life”, and is a memorial of global import.
What is interesting amongst modern architecture:
The Municipal House is an excellent example of Prague Secession. It was built by the Prague community in the years 1905-1912. It primarily serves representative purposes and as a place for cultural events, such as concerts or exhibitions.
The National Museum was founded during the time of the Czech National Revival. There you can find regular collections as well as temporary thematic expositions. The Neo-Renaissance building of the National Museum forms the most prominent feature of the Wenceslaus Square.
The tallest structure in Prague is the Žižkov Television Tower, which offers wondrous views of the city of Prague.

Apartment search
There is one basic rule: the further away from the center you are, the cheaper rent you pay.
There are several ways to look for a flat. You can use services of a real estate agency (with a fee), or rent a flat directly from the owner.
When you see an interesting offer, do not wait and arrange a visit as soon as possible. The best offers are usually gone within 3 days.

Using their services prevents you from signing a contract with false statements and misrepresentations. - Private advertising: You can rent a flat directy from the owner. Usually, you are asked to pay one extra month of rent as a deposit (which is refundable after the end of your contract).
- Facebook groups: on facebook, you can find a number of groups created to advertise flats and houses directly by the owners or people who are looking for flatmates
- Shared housing “Spolubydlení”: means sharing a flat with other persons, it may be cheaper, but be careful whom you share the apartment with. Offers for shared housing are advertised for example on the website
https://www.espolubydleni.cz/podnajem-spolubydlici/
Real estate servers:
This is not a full list: sreality and idnes are the largest and most popular real estate servers with offers from most real estate agencies as well as private offers. Expats.cz is a website with information for foreigners living in the Czech Republic - the offers there are meant for English speaking clientele.

Lease Agreement:
Before signing an agreement, make sure that you understand all terms and conditions and information about the monthly rent, service fees, deposit and provision to the real estate agency.
Don’t forget to ask for a Czech and English version – the Czech version is needed for visa purposes or extension of a residence card. Please be aware of the fact that in case of discrepancy, the Czech version legally prevails.
You should not forget to ask to see a Proof of ownership (it is an extract from the Cadastral Register which is a property register ensuring that the person with whom you are signing the contract is the real owner and thus the flat is rented legally).
As the Cadastral Register is accessible online to everybody, we recommend looking it up before signing the contract.
https://nahlizenidokn.cuzk.cz/
You should make sure that:
- It is an apartment or a house (not a commercial space, attic, attention! to „ateliér“)
- The proprietor is identical to the person you sign the contract with
- There is no limitation of the proprietary right - in case of a joint ownership, the absolute majority of owners must sign the contract (more than 50%)
- If the owner is cooperative (bytové družstvo), you will need their signature as well
If there is a discrepancy with the above, the Ministry of Interior (OAMP) will not accept this accommodation.
If you have problems navigating the Czech website of the Cadastral Register, contact your Mobility Coordinator, who can check these things for you.
Charges/fees
Are paid on the top of the monthly rent.
- Service charges (such as water, cleaning common areas, garbage removal etc.) are usually included in the monthly rent, but please check with the owner, usually they are settled according to the actual consumption at the end of the year or by agreement with the owner once per year
- Internet: is paid directly to the service provider of your own choice, you can find a list according to your address here:
https://rychlost.cz/pripojeni/ - The utility charges (electricity and gas,) are paid in 2 ways
- On a monthly basis (fixed rate) paid directly to the owner on the top of the monthly rent. At the end of the year, the advances are compared to the real consumption and the finances are settled out.
- You sign a contract with a gas and electricity service supplier and you pay the monthly charges directly to them. If this is your case, please note the current value of the consumption of the electricity and gas marked on the electricity and gas meter and have it confirmed in written by the owner. Please do so at the end of your contract as well. Do not forget to cancel your contract with the service provider before the termination of the lease agreement.
Usual energy suppliers in Prague:
PRE - Pražská energetika, a. s.
Pražská plynárenská, a. s.
The accommodation contract includes a Handover protocol as well, describing the current condition of the flat and its equipment (including furniture), sometimes a requirement to paint the walls before you leave the flat. Please do check the content of the protocol very carefully so that you are not held responsible for any damage caused before the start of your lease or for items that were not even there.

Foreigners who will be or are employed at UCT Prague are also subject to the provisions of the Act on the Residence of Foreigners in the Territory of the Czech Republic (Act No. 326/1999 Coll.) and the Act on Employment (Act No. 435/2004 Coll.).
Foreigners who are nationals of the EU/EEA and Switzerland have to comply with the EU coordination rules that coordinate different national health and social security systems.
Types and Provisions of Labour Relationships
According to the Czech Labour Code, the following types of Labour Relationships can be concluded:
- Employment Relationship (Pracovní poměr “PP”)
- Contract for an indefinite period
- Contract for fixed-term period
- Agreements on work performed outside the employment relationship
- Agreement on Work Activities (DPČ)
- Work performance agreement (DPP)
A labour relationship must be concluded in writing and must include identification data of the contracting parties, type of work performed (job description), place of work, and date of commencement of employment. According to the type of labour relationship, the relevant career/employment position is assigned as well as the amount of remuneration for work, the duration of the employment relationship, and the scope of weekly or monthly working hours. It can also include a trial (probationary) period with a maximum of 3 consecutive months for regular employees. Each contracting party must receive one copy of the relevant employment contract or agreement.
1.a) Employment Contract for a Fixed-Term (definite) period (“Pracovní smlouva na dobu určitou”)
This type of contract is concluded for a specific time period. Generally, it can be concluded for a maximum of 3 years and it is only possible to prolong such a contract twice (maximum length 3x3 years).
The employer pays monthly obligatory contributions to the social security and health insurance premium in the amount of 33.8 % of the gross salary.
If the employee signs the Declaration to personal income tax (“Prohlášení k dani z příjmu”), a payroll accountant applies a tax relief on monthly income tax advances.
Each employee with this type of employment contract is entitled to their annual leave (or its share according to the hours worked), to the provision of public health care, paid sickness, maternity, paternity and parental leave in the Czech Republic. The employee is covered by the social security system of the Czech Republic for the duration of their employment contract.
After the termination of this type of employment contract, EU/EEA and Switzerland nationals are covered by the social security and health insurance system according to the rules of EU Social Security Coordination.
Third country nationals are entitled to social security benefits and health insurance in the Czech Republic only within the duration of their employment contract with UCT Prague. Several agreements on social security are concluded between the Czech Republic and third countries that stipulate additional social security benefits provided after termination of the employment contract in the Czech Republic. An overview of the bilateral agreements and their scope are available on the web page of Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
1.b) Employment Contract for indefinite period ("Pracovní smlouva na dobu neurčitou")
This type of contract is concluded for an indefinite period. All other provisions remain the same as in the previous point 1.a.
2.a) Agreement on Work Performance ("Dohoda o provedení práce" or "DPP")
The scope of work may not exceed 300 hours per employer in one calendar year.
Remuneration is paid monthly based on the number of hours worked multiplied by the relevant hourly rate. If the remuneration is less than or equal to 10 500 CZK per month with only one employer, the employer does not contribute to the employee´s social security and health insurance premium. The employee is entitled to working leave but not for other benefits as they are not participating in the social security and public health insurance system.
2.b) Agreement on Work Activity ("Dohoda o pracovní činnosti" or "DPČ")
The scope of work must not exceed a weekly maximum of half of the specified weekly working hours (20 hours).
If the monthly remuneration is equal to or lower than 3 999 CZK, the employer does not contribute to the employee's social and health insurance premium. If the monthly remuneration is equal to or higher than4 000 CZK, the employer contributes to social and health insurance system and the employee participates in a public health insurance system and they can claim social security benefits.

Social security
Workers who enter into an employment contract with an employer in the Czech Republic (with the exception of an agreement on work performance ("DPP") of up to CZK 10,000/month or an agreement on work activity ("DPČ") of up to CZK 3,999/month) are registered by the employer in the social security insurance system with the Czech Social Insurance Administration and the employer pays for them monthly mandatory insurance premiums. Social security covers pension insurance, sickness insurance and unemployment insurance.
Health insurance
In the same way, the employer registers its employees with one of the public health insurance companies (UCT Prague with the General Health Insurance Company/VZP) and pays for them monthly mandatory insurance premiums.
After registration, a health insurance card is issued and delivered to foreigners via the UCT Prague Personnel Department.
Nationals of EU/EEA countries receive a blue card (EHIC), which entitles them to receive full health care in the Czech Republic and necessary health care in other EU/EEA countries.
The third country nationals receive a green card which entitles them to receive full health care in the Czech Republic only.
Foreigners, employees of UCT Prague, can register with doctors who have a contract with the VZP or relevant public health insurance company.
They can also register with a UCT Prague general practitioner.

International scope of social and health insurance
EU, EEA and Switzerland nationals
European rules for the coordination of social security systems are based on the right of free movement of persons within Member States and the provision that a migrant is subject to the rules of only one Member State.
The European Regulations on social security coordination No. 883/2004 and No. 987/2009 do not supersede national systems, but only determine which country system will apply to a specific person (citizen, employee) in a particular situation. More information on Moving & working in Europe.
Third countries nationals
Some so-called contracting third countries have concluded international social security agreements with the Czech Republic, the basic purpose of which is to ensure the rights of persons migrating between the two contracting states. List of bilateral agreements and scope of provided social security is listed at https://www.mpsv.cz/web/en/social-security-of-migrants.

Getting an appointment with a doctor in the Czech Republic can sometimes take a little longer, but we will give you as much information as possible, to help make the process easier.
To find a doctor, you first need to check if your insurance company has a contract with a particular clinic. VZP (Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna) is the health insurance you will have while being employed at UCT. Many clinics have a contract with this health insurance company. However, not every clinic takes new patients at just any time of the year. Sometimes they are full and are not taking anyone new. This is something you will have to check for yourself. To make it easier for you, we have gathered up a list of some clinics that accept patients with VZP.
General practitioners
As soon as you get settled down in Prague, we recommend that you register with a general practitioner and make an entry checkup. You should do it as soon as possible because it can take several months to get an appointment. When you get sick and need a consultation, you have to have your own doctor. Besides that, if you need to visit a specialist, sometimes they require a written recommendation from your GP.
If you have to visit a doctor who has a contract with a different healthcare company, your provider will reimburse the doctor, but only in case of an emergency.
It is worth mentioning that it can take a few months to obtain a health insurance card. If you need to visit a doctor while you wait for it, the univerisity’s HR department can ask for the confirmation of your insurance for you.
Many clinics offer English-speaking services, although it may happen that the receptionists are not speaking English. Below is a list of private clinics who have English-speaking doctors, in addition to those with other languages.

NOTE: Some of these clinics may charge a little extra for just an appointment (some of them have price lists on their websites), so make sure you check that before registering.
It is also important to mention that prescriptions are mostly covered by your insurance company, but there may be a small fee.
Alternatively, you can also register via the website mojeambulance.cz. Soon after that they will contact you and schedule an appointment. They have offices all over the country and also a few in Prague.
In case you are not satisfied with your GP, you can change it after 3 months.
Emergency
For urgent help you can call:
155 - Medical Emergency number
112 - European Emergency Number where they speak English
Emergency: In Prague, hospital emergency services are mostly opened from 19:00. You can go there and wait in a line.
Of course, you can always go to a private clinic that does not have a contract with your insurance company (e.g. Canadian Medical Center). They have a few offices throughout the city, but keep in mind that it can be rather expensive. They will find a doctor for you and schedule an appointment in a short time.

Dentists
Waiting lines for dentists are also long – it can take months to even get an appointment, since there is a shortage of dentists in the Czech Republic. Of course, first you will have to register with one. There are emergency dentists at hospitals, you can find a list here. Only Motol Hospital has dental emergency for children.
In dental care, your insurance will cover basic stuff only. In case you need a filling, you will only get a black filling and you will have to pay for the white one. Same goes for some other procedures like teeth cleaning, etc.

You will need to show two official identification documents in the bank if you want to open a bank account.
For this purpose you can use: your passport, ID card, driving licence, birth certificate, health insurance card, proof of address (you can take your accommodation contract which you will get at the dorms after your arrival), resident card or even your employee card.
In addition to these documents you will need an initial deposit. The initial deposit varies from bank to bank, but usually it is between 200 – 2000 Czech koruna (CZK). This is not a fee, but it will serve as your first payment into your account.
At most Czech banks you will pay a monthly rate and fee for transactions. It varies from bank to bank but usually it’s about 30–50 CZK per month. The fees for international transfers or currency exchange vary as well, for this, we recommend you to check the price list available on the bank’s website.
Some banks such as Air Bank or Komerční banka allow you to open an account online. You just need to fill-out a form on their website. They will prepare your account and call you the next working day to set up an appointment. The final process of signing the contract must be done in person at a local branch.
There is a wide range of banks in the Czech Republic with English speaking staff, such as Komerční banka, Česká spořitelna, ČSOB, Air Bank, Unicredit Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Fio Banka.

You can easily explore the historical center on foot, but for some more distant locations you can take metro, buses or trams (as well as the Petřín funicular and various ferries along the Vltava river). Buses are mostly used outside of the city center and in the outskirts, while trams and metros run through the city center. Trams are the handiest way to get from one point to another in the Old Town (if you get tired from walking), but for some longer routes, you can always hop on the metro.
Metro has 3 lines – A, B and C, that are marked by different colors, and it covers a big part of the city. Of course, it is also the fastest way to get to many locations. It runs from a bit before 5am to midnight, every 2 to 4 minutes during the rush hour, and for the rest of the day and on weekends, every 4 to 10 minutes. After midnight, night trams and buses are the options you can use.
Types of tickets
There are a few types of tickets, both short and long-term.
You can find the current prices on the website of Prague Public Transport Company, DPP: https://www.dpp.cz/en/fares/fare-pricelist
There are discounts for children and elderly, so make sure to check the DPP website to get all the information.
Long-term tickets are the best way for you, because they pay off a lot if you are staying in Prague for at least a month or longer.
You can get long-term tickets either as a card or if you have a smartphone, it can serve as an e-card.
Getting the tickets
You can get the tickets at multiple places.
- Trafika or a Newsstand is one of those. You would probably have to use some Czech, so while you still do not know any, maybe it is best to go for other options.
- If you have a Czech simcard, you can buy a ticket via sms. Every bus and tram stop has instructions on how to pay by sms.
- At every metro stop you have ticket vending machines. Besides Czech, you have a few other languages available. It’s an easy way to purchase a ticket, but, they only take coins or bank cards. Using paper bills is not possible.
- In the era of smart phones, it is not unusual that an app for purchasing tickets has been developed. It is called PID Lítačka. There you can type in which stops you want to go from and to, and it will give you the corresponding ticket depending on the length of the journey. You can either get a ticket that is automatically activated or you can choose the time of activation yourself.
If you buy a paper ticket, do not forget to validate it in the stamping machine immediately upon entering the metro station, bus or tram. Once validated, they do not need to be revalidated in case you are switching to another way of transportation.The same ticket is valid on all public transport in the city of Prague.
Make sure you always have a valid ticket, because ticket inspectors can be around the corner asking you to show them your ticket. Currently the fine for not having a valid ticket is 1500 CZK, but it gets reduced to 800 CZK if you pay it on the spot or within 15 days from the day of inspection.
Outside of the city of Prague, there’s another tariff, and here is all the information regarding that.
https://pid.cz/en/tariff-details/tariff-zones/
https://pid.cz/en/suburban-travelling/
Useful phrases and words to know
Some of the useful words and phrases for when you’re on the public transport are:
- Vstup = Entrance
- Výstup = Exit
- Stanice metra = Metro station
- Linka A = A line
- Přestup = Transfer
- Příští stanice = Next stop
- Přestup na linku A/B/C = Transfer to line A, B or C
- Ukončete prosím výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají = Please, finish getting on and off, the doors are about to close. – you will hear this announcement just before the doors of the metro train get closed.
Before you start looking for a kindergarten, please make sure that:
- Your child is registered with a paediatrician because you will need their signature on the Application form ("Potvrzení od dětského lékaře")
- Your child has been vaccinated according to the Czech vaccination calendar
If you don’t want your child to be vaccinated, there is still a possibility for you to find a kindergarten, but the choice is very limited. You should be searching either for a forest club (lesní klub) or a community school (komunitní školka).
Your first option is the UCT Prague day care centre "DK Zkumavka".
DK Zkumavka
DK Zkumavka is a day care centre ("dětský koutek") for UCT Prague employees only. It is not a kindergarden but the service that your child will get there is very similar. Zkumavka day care centre offers an educational programme for children aged 2–7 years.
Price list:
Full day: 125 CZK per day
Morning only: 63 CZK per day
Lunch: 35 CZK
Snack in the morning: 17 CZK
Snack in the afternoon: 17 CZK
The centre is situated in one of the university buildings (building C):
Address:
Studentská 6
166 28 Prague 6
Mail: Jitka.Jakovcova@vscht.cz
Opening hours:
Monday-Friday 7:45 – 16:30
What do you need to do for registration at Zkumavka?
1. Fill-in these 3 documents and bring them personally to Mrs. Jakovcová:
Application form ("Přihláška") – this document should be signed and stamped by a paediatrician
Registration form ("Evidenční list")
Child custody agreement ("Dohoda o svěření péče o dítě")
2. Then you make a registration of your child on the webpage of Zkumavka:
Please make sure that you use your UCT Prague email address (@vscht.cz)
3. Now you will be able to book a space in the reservation system:
Please note that it is not possible to subscribe your child for the entire year straight away. Instead, you must make a reservation at a weekly basis.
For more information, please contact Mrs. Jakovcová on jitka.jakovcova@vscht.cz
Public kindergartens
A public kindergarten may be another option, you must make sure that:
- You are a holder of a permanent or long-term residence permit, in the Czech Republic
- Your child will be 3 years old before the 1st September. Those who will turn 3 on or after that date can subscribe but will most probably be put on a waiting list.
If you fulfil the above criteria, you can choose any kindergarten that is located in the same Prague district you live in.
You can of course choose any kindergarten out of your district, however your chances to get your child accepted are quite small. Nevertheless you should know that children above 5 years must be accepted in any kind of kindergarten.
During the period of January – May kindergartens have Open days (“dny otevřených dveří”) and parents are allowed to visit kindergartens and inspect them for themselves. Most parents find it very useful, as they can experience the school environment and meet the teachers.
If you are not sure which one to choose do not hesitate to send as many applications as you wish.
The application form MUST be delivered to the kindergarten ONLY during the period of inscriptions, which is usually in May. The exact dates are announced every year by the Ministry of Education and are also mentioned on the websites of the kindergartens.
Please do not forget to have your application form signed and stamped by your paediatrician and to have your child properly vaccinated.
Even though these schools are public, you must still pay a monthly fee that is around 550 CZK per month and around 860 CZK per month for the meals.
Private kindergartens
If you choose a private kindergarten, you do not need to have a residence permit in the Czech Republic. However, you will still need to provide an application form signed by a pediatrician confirming that your child has been vaccinated according to the Czech vaccination calendar.
There is a wide range of private kindergartens who offer different services and educational programmes. Some of them have longer opening hours (until 18:00), foreign languages with native speakers, alternative methods of teaching (Montessori) or child care with a different age range. You have an opportunity to find the right school for your child’s individual needs and your own requirements.
However, you should be aware that such a school might be rather expensive. In the wide centre of Prague, you will pay 20-30 000 CZK per month.

Before you move to the Czech Republic with your children, please keep in mind that school attendance is compulsory in the Czech Republic. This obligation applies as well to children of foreign nationals who reside longer than 90 days.
Complete list of primary schools is here: https://www.seznamskol.cz/zakladni-skoly/praha/
Public schools are free of charge, private schools require a school fee.
The compulsory school education starts at the age of 5 years which is the last year of kindergarten (“předškolák”) and ends up with the completion of primary school education which is usually at the age of 15 years.
The primary school starts at the age of six years and the minimum compulsory attendance is 9 years. Every child who turns 6 years before the 1st September is obliged to undergo an admissions procedure. There is a possibility to enroll your child even earlier (at the age of 5), however in this case, you will need a certificate from a doctor or pedagogical and psychological counselling to child’s maturity to attend school.
A Primary school is divided into 2 levels:
- The 1st level (“první stupeň”) is from the 1st up to the 5th grade
- The 2nd level (“druhý stupeň”) is from the 6th grade up to the 9th grade
A school year lasts 10 months, from September until June. July and August are 2 months of summer holidays the children are looking forward to every year. Even during the school year, there are some days off, such as Autumn holidays, Christmas holidays, Spring holidays and of course National days.
A School year is divided into two semesters:
- The First semester starts in September and lasts until the end of January when the children receive a mid-term report (“pololetní vysvědčení”)
- The second semester starts in February and lasts until the end of June, which marks at the same time a termination of the school year. This time, the children receive a final report (“vysvědčení”)
Admissions procedure to a public primary school:
As the primary school attendance in the Czech Republic is obligatory, you are certain to find a school for your child. However, your choice is limited to the address of your stay (“trvalé bydliště”) which you can prove showing your accommodation contract or residence permit card. The law defines exactly the school your child belongs to (“spádová”) according to the street and number you currently reside in. You are of course free to choose any school you wish, however you cannot be sure to have your child accepted there.
Every school has open days (“Den otevřených dveří”) in the beginning of the year and it is recommended to visit them and ask for information. Some schools offer an assistant if your child does not speak Czech or in case of special needs and care.
First, you need to fill-in an application form. You can do it online (the link is indicated on the webpage of each school) or bring it with you personally on the day of admission.
The admissions “zápis” usually take place in April, the exact date is specified on the webpage of each school.
Admission occurs in two parts:
1. Practical part:
- An interview with the child testing their social skills, communication, focus and self-control, graphomotor skills, counting up to 10, basic knowledge about nature, time etc.
- In case your child is not ready for the school attendance at the age of 6, you can ask to postpone their attendance (“odklad”) after having visited an educational and psychological counselling (pedagogicko-psychologická poradna) or a doctor. Admission to school can be postponed until the child is 8 years old – that´s the maximum.
2. Administrative part:
- Child‘s birth certificate, passport or ID card
- Child’s health insurance
- Parent’s ID, residence card or passport
- Original of your accommodation contract
- Certificate from the doctor – in case school attendance has been postponed
- Application form (if you have not filed it electronically)
The admission of an older child and admission during the school year:
A parent can enroll a child in primary school at any time during the school year. It is highly recommended to make an appointment with the director of the school and arrange all the details.
Having little or no knowledge of the Czech language cannot be used as a reason for not accepting the child to the school.

You want to make sure you know all the rules and regulations considering bringing your pet to a new country and living there, some of which are: the documentation you need for moving the animal, public transport rules, places for dogs to run freely (if you have a dog), veterinary clinics where they speak English and so on.
Documentation
The first and foremost is ensuring you have all the needed documentation for moving the pet to the Czech Republic.
Wherever you’re coming from, you have to make sure your pet is identified with a microchip and vaccinated against rabies.
For EU members:
- pets can travel to the Czech Republic 21 days after vaccination
- you will need to obtain an international health certificate from your veterinarian (which is valid for 10 days from the date of the issue) or a European passport
- treatment against tapeworms
For further information, talk to your veterinarian.
For non-EU citizens, the process is a little bit more complicated. Always make sure to check with your veterinarian in case rules differ from country to country, but some of the general rules are:
- rabies antibody test: the pet (dog, cat or ferret) must undergo a rabies antibody titration test. The test must be done at least 30 days after the date of rabies vaccination. After the test is done and you get the results, your pet can travel after 3 months.
- treatment against tapeworms
Your local vet will know the rules depending on the country you’re visiting, but you will probably need a certificate in both local language and English for the border control where the veterinarian will state your pet is healthy and can safely travel abroad (to EU).
Also, as long as you’re on time with rabies vaccination every year, the certificate you get after the antibody test will last forever.
In case of travelling by plane, you will have to make sure your pet is in a carriage that can fit under the seat in front of you and is of certain weight. If a pet is larger and cannot fit in a container under the seat, it will have to be in a larger container which will be placed in the cargo area. However, not every airline allows that.
Dog registration
Another very important thing when you move to the Czech Republic is to register your dog, if that’s the pet you have. Depending on a region, prices vary, but here https://www.praha12.cz/local-dog-fee/d-80420 you have some basic information on that for Prague - however it is best to ask your veterinarian once you settle down. Make sure to check the deadlines for making the payments, because being late can result in a fine.
Dog parks
When you come to Prague, you’ll notice there are many dogs in the city. That’s because Prague is a very dog-friendly city. If you have a dog, you’ll probably want to know where you can take your pooch to run and play with other dogs, while at the same time being safe.
On this website: https://dogcitylife.cz/ you can find plenty of information on where dogs are allowed, from meadows and fenced dog areas, to cafes and restaurants, hotels, grooming places etc.
Public transport
Information on pet tickets on the public transport website of Prague is a little big vague, but the general rule is that dogs must be leashed and muzzled. Pets are allowed on all metro lines, trams and buses, as well as regional trains (there are different rules for different train companies, so please make sure you inform yourself on that before travelling).
Here you can find information on pet travel, but if you don’t find it clear, you can always contact their customer support.

Veterinary services
Some of the English-speaking veterinarian clinics in Prague are:
Animal Clinic https://www.animalclinic.cz/en/
Jaggy Praha https://www.jaggypraha.cz/en/
Panda https://en.veterinapanda.com/
Veterinární ordinace MVDr. Michaely Riedlové https://www.vaseveterina.cz/

Veterina Nebušice https://www.veterinanebusice.cz/
Pet Care Clinic https://petcareclinic.cz/en/home-english/
HomeVet https://www.homevet.cz/en/index
Boarding places
In case you need to leave for vacation, there are a few ways to find somebody to take care of your pet. Some websites offer petsitters who will take care of your pet. One of them is:
https://www.hlidacky.cz/en/pet-sitters/1-praha
or an international one like:
https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/czech-republic/praha/prague/
Of course, you can also find dog and cat hotels and boarding places, and although usually more expensive, your pet(s) will have friends to play with, and some of them are equiped with cameras and have a veterinarian on spot, so you can always check on your furry friend and be sure a team of people is there to take care of them.
What is also worth mentioning that collecting poop after your dog (or cat) when you take them for a walk is obligatory, and if not done, can result in a fine. Depending on a part of the city, you might see poop bags offered beside trash cans, but even if they aren’t there, you are still obliged to collect the poop.
When you live in a new country, it’s important to know which are the national holidays. For some they matter, for some they don’t, but it’s nice to know a little bit more about them, so you can better integrate in the country.
These are the national holidays in the Czech Republic:
1 January - New Year and Restoration Day of the Independent Czech State (Nový rok; Den obnovy samostatného českého státu)
There are two holidays celebrated on this day. In the Czech Republic, just like anywhere else, people celebrate the New Year.
Also, the independent Czech Republic was founded on January 1st, after Czechoslovakia ceased to exist on December 31st 1992, so that’s why there is a double holiday on that day.
March/April - Good Friday & Easter Monday (Velký pátek, Velikonoční pondělí)
Easter celebrations in the Czech Republic are based on Christian traditions. Eggs are painted and exchanged, which is nothing strange and done in many countries. However, there is something rather different in this country (also Slovakia and some parts of Hungary) that is done during this holiday and it’s probably the most shocking tradition in this country to foreigners – the Easter whipping.
On Easter Monday, boys, but also men, walk with whips, and spank girls (both friends and cousins) on their behinds. In exchange, they get the painted egg, and when old enough – alcohol. The whipping is done using a whip made out of willow twigs, decorated with colorful ribbons - so called, pomlázka.
It is an old tradition but it has survived to this age. It’s still happening even in bigger cities. This custom originates from pagan rituals and provides women with health and fertility.
1 May - Labour Day (Svátek práce)
The first of May is a holiday not only in the Czech Republic but also in many other countries all over the world, also known as May Day or (International) Workers’ Day. It is commemorating the historic struggles and gains made by workers and the labour movement.
8 May - Victory/Liberation Day (Den vítězství or Den osvobození)
This day marks the end of World War II on the European continent. It commemorates both the Prague Uprising and the liberation of Czechoslovakia by Allied Forces.
Prague had actually survived most the war undamaged, but it was heavily damaged during the Prague Uprising (5–8 May). That is the time when the north and east wings of Prague’s Old Town Hall building, next to the Astronomical Clock, were completely destroyed. They have never been rebuilt since.
5 July - Saints Cyril & Methodius Day (Den slovanských věrozvěstů Cyrila a Metoděje)
Czechs celebrate the anniversary of the arrival of Slavic missionaries, Cyril and Methodius, to Great Moravia in 863. They came to today’s Czech Republic to spread Christianity among the pagan Slavs. They invented a special alphabet, translated parts of Bible to old Slavonic, and founded schools.
6 July - Jan Hus Day (Den upálení mistra Jana Husa)
Jan Hus was a catholic priest, university teacher, reformer and a preacher. He was advocating church reforms in the 15th century and eventually died for his beliefs. Condemned as a heretic, he was burned at the stake on July 6th 1415.
28 September - Czech Statehood Day (Den české státnosti)
The second of the three public holidays related to the Czech state is the day when the Czechs celebrate the foundation of the Czech Republic and remember the patron saint of Bohemia.
Wenceslas was the duke of Bohemia from 921 until his assassination in 935. On September 28th 935, he was murdered by his brother Boleslav and his supporters, and soon after his death, he became the patron of the Czech lands and honoured as a Catholic saint. One of the main squares in the city of Prague is named after him (Wenceslas square). Also, every year the Czech president gives St. Wenceslas medals to those who contributed to the Czech statehood.
28 October - Independent Czechoslovak State Day (Den vzniku samostatného československého státu)
This is the day when, in 1918, the independent Czechoslovakia was declared and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire ceased to exist at the end of World War I. Also, it’s the last holiday related to the Czech statehood.
17 November - Struggle for Freedom & Democracy Day (Den boje za svobodu a demokracii)
On November 17th 1939 Nazi Germany decided to close all Czech universities. Students protested, which ended up in a few of them being executed and hundreds ending up in the Nazi concentration camps. The second event took place on November 17th 1989 when a peaceful student demonstration against the regime turned into a violent event. That was the beginning of the Velvet Revolution, which lasted for the next 2 months.
24 December - Christmas Eve (Štědrý den)
25 & 26 December - Christmas (1. svátek vánoční, 2. svátek vánoční)
Christmas in this country is celebrated by having plenty of food on the table, dinner usually being carp and potato salad. Of course, lighting up the Christmas tree, and opening gifts. Religious people also visit churches.
In the weeks prior to the Christmas, there are Advent markets in city and town centres.

Driving licence issued by another EU country
If you are an EU citizen and a holder of a driving licence issued by another EU country, then you are entitled to drive a motor vehicle in the Czech Republic without having to change to a Czech driving licence.
If you wish to change your driving licence to a Czech one (it is not compulsory), then you need to:
1) prove the place of usual residence, i.e. the place where you stay and live for at least 185 days a year due to your personal ties. Your usual residence can be proved using one of the following documents:

- or 700 CZK (if you wish to have your Czech driving licence in 5 working days)
After this, your original driving licence will be sent back to the state where it was issued.
For more information, you can consult the website of the Ministry of Transport.
Driving licence issued by a third country (non-EU country)
If you are a holder of a driving licence issued by a third country, you have to check if your current one complies with the requirements of one of the following Conventions on Road Traffic – the 1968 Vienna Convention or the 1949 Geneva Convention. As these Conventions have been ratified by a significant number of countries, there is a chance that your country is on the list. If you are not sure, you can contact the Ministry of Transport or use the following simple guideline.
Your driving licence is compliant with the Conventions if:
- it is a pink plastic card (54 x 86 mm) or a paper document,
- it has the words “driving licence” written on the front side in the national language of the country issuing it,
- your details stated on it are listed in Latin alphabet and in a certain order.
The required order of the information on the driving licence according to these international Conventions on Road Traffic is the following:

- Date of issuance
- Date of expiration
- Name or stamp of the issuing authority
- Licence number
- Your photo
- Your signature
- Groups of vehicles for which the licence is valid
- Additional information or limitations listed as codes
A. If your foreign driving licence complies with the requirements of one of the above mentioned Conventions, you may keep using your foreign driving licence from your native country, but only for one year. If you intend to use your driving licence for more than one year, you are required to change your original driving licence for a Czech driving licence. Please keep in mind that this obligation must be done within the first 3 months from your long-term visa or permanent residence approval.
B. If your foreign driving licence does not comply with the conditions of Road traffic of the Czech Republic, there are two possibilities:
a) you are a holder of an international driving licence,
b) you apply for a Czech driving licence. In this case you will have to apply to a Czech driving school and pass the exams for a Czech driving licence.
