DO NOT OVERLOOK:
-Supporting documents may not be older than 180 days with the exception of a passport and photo (if reflecting current appearance).
-Supporting documents must be submitted in Czech. Documents in another language must also be submitted in official translation into Czech.
-Foreign public documents must be legalized, i.e. equipped by an apostille or superlegalized.
-The following documents must always be submitted in their originals: passport, supporting documents on purpose of stay (in this case acceptance letter or other similar confirmation), and parental consent. These originals will be returned to the applicant should he / she wish to keep them. Passport is always returned to the applicant and is submitted again when issuing the visa.
-Other supporting documents may be submitted as originals or officially verified copies.
-We kindly request that applicants also prepare a set of copies of all the requirements.
-SUBMIT ONLY COMPLETE APPLICATIONS CONTAINING ALL THE DOCUMENTS.
-INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE PROCESSED => PROCESSING OF INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS NEEDS TO BE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE APPLICANT ADDS THE MISSING DOCUMENTS (§ 169i + § 169r. 4 of Act on Residence of Foreign Nationals). THIS PROLONGS THE OVERALL PROCESSING!
4. AWAIT THE DECISION.
The legal processing time of intra-company employee transfer cards is 90 days.
5. GET TRAVEL MEDICAL INSURANCE WHEN VISA APPROVED.
Foreign nationals are required to take out a travel medical insurance for their stay in the Czech Republic. When picking up your visa, do submit an officially verified translation of the insurance policy and general conditions into Czech to prove that you possess such an insurance and in what extent.
Upon request, do submit the proof of payment for the insurance.
6. PICK UP YOUR VISA IF APPROVED OR REFUSAL FORM IN CASE OF VISA REFUSAL.
Applicants can pick up their passports themselves or they can authorize someone else to do so on their behalf. A certified power of attorney needs to be presented when picking up the passport on somebody´s behalf. If the applicant notifies the consulate about this arrangement when lodging the application, no power of attorney is necessary.
NOTE: Visa issuance does not automatically grant the right of entry to the Czech Republic or the Schengen Area. Visa holders are required to fulfill entry conditions specified in the Schengen Border Code when crossing the external borders and, upon request, present documents related to the planned stay.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INTRA-COMPANY EMPLOYEE TRANSFER CARD:
Intra-Company Employee Transfer Cards are required for the so-called third countries, i.e. states outside of the EU, Island, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Citizens of these countries nor their family members (in the extent of a definition of a family member as per § 15a and § 180f of Act on Residence of Foreign Nationals) do not need Intra-Company Employee Transfer Cards to be transferred for employment to the Czech Republic.
Intra-Company Employee Transfer Cards applications are lodged at diplomatic missions of the Czech Republic according to the territorial competence. They forward the applications to the Ministry of the Interior, which examines them and decides on them. If approved, the diplomatic mission, at which the application was lodged, issues a long-term visa for the purpose of collecting an Intra-Company Employee Transfer Cards. This visa is issued as single entry for 60 days. During this period, the applicant visits the local branch of the Ministry of the Interior according to the place of stay in the Czech Republic, which subsequently – after collection of biometric data – issues an Intra-Company Employee Transfer Card.
If the purpose of stay lasts, the applicant can request – before expiry of the card – an extension at the local branch of the Ministry of the Interior.
Long-term residence permit grants its holder a right of free movement in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180 days for non-gainful purposes (in this respect, it fulfills the function of a short-term Schengen visa).
