Confirmation of Studies

A confirmation of studies is a document issued by a school or another legal entity to its students. The confirmation proves that you are a student of the particular school and you need it, e.g., when applying for a long-term visa for the purpose of studies or a long-term residence permit for the purpose of studies. When applying for an employee card it may also serve as a proof of free access to the labour market.

The confirmation must include:

• Name and main address of the entity (school)
• Signature of an authorised person
• Entity’s stamp
• Place and date when the confirmation was issued

The confirmation must also include some important information about you:

• First and last name
• Citizenship
• Date of birth
• Expected length of the study stay in the Czech Republic
• Name or type of the study programme including the form of studies (e.g. full-time, part-time, distance studies or the number of class hours per week).
• Also, if applicable, a note that the studies are carried out under an exchange programme.

The confirmation of studies attached to a long-term visa application for the purpose of studies or a long-term residence visa application for the purpose of studies must be an original or in a form of a certicied copy.
