Visa long term
Visa for a stay exceeding 90 days
The visa for a stay exceeding 90 days is issued by the Inspectorate of Alien Police at the request of a foreign national who plans to stay in the Czech Republic for a purpose necessitating a stay exceeding 3 months. Such a purpose may include for example: employment, business, study or research.. The application is filed with a representation of the Czech Republic (Section 53 of the Aliens Act);. Nationals of some third countries are obliged to ask for the visa exclusively at a representation office in the state of which the foreign national is a citizen, or which has issued the passport of which the foreign national is a holder, or in the state where the foreign national has been granted long-term or permanent residence (see Regulation No. 462/2008 Sb., Coll.); the application may be filed in the territory of the Czech Republic only in cases stipulated by the law (Article 33 of the Aliens Act). The application should be processed in 90 days, or - in extremely complex cases - 120 days from the application filing date (Article 170, paragraph 6 of the Aliens Act), or 60 days from the application filing date in selected cases (e.g. for the purpose of a study).
In the event that the applicant for a visa for a stay exceeding 90 days complies with the conditions of granting the uniform Schengen visa (type C), he or she shall be granted a visa marked as the D+C- type visa. This visa authorizes its holder to stay in the territory of other Schengen states for the first three months of its validity; after this period expires, the validity of such a visa is equal to the D-type visa (see below).
In the event that the applicant for a visa for a stay exceeding 90 days does not comply with the conditions of granting the uniform Schengen visa, he or she shall be granted a visa marked as the D- type visa. This visa authorizes its holder to stay exclusively in the territory of the Czech Republic; however, he or she may transit the territories of other Schengen states (for a maximum period of 5 days) when traveling to the Czech Republic for the first time.
