An application for granting a long-term visa should be further submitted to a Czech embassy. It applies a foreign national can only submit the application at the embassy in his/her country of origin (in the state he/she is a citizen of, or which has issued his/her travel document, or in the state where the foreign national has a permitted long-term or permanent residence). Exceptions to this obligation are stipulated by the Regulation of the Ministry of the Interior.
An embassy is entitled to request from the foreign national to arrange the term for filing the application for a long-term visa in advance.
An applicant for a long-term visa is obliged to undergo an interview if the embassy calls him/her to it. In the case a foreign national is applying for a long-term visa for the purpose of conducting business, he/she must always attend the interview.
Newly, the Ministry of the Interior decides on granting a long-term visa which, in case of denying the application, shall inform the foreign national in writing about the reasons for non-granting the long-term visa. The foreign national is entitled to request new assessment of reasons for non-granting the visa within 15 days upon delivery of the information about non-granting the long-term visa.
ATTENTION! The term of validity of a long-term visa is shortened. A long-term visa will be newly issued for the maximum period of 6 months. If the purpose of the foreign national´s residence in the Territory requires a stay exceeding 6 months, the foreign national is obliged to submit an application for a long-term residence not earlier than 90 days and not later than 14 days before the long-term visa validity expiration. The foreign national shall submit such application at a regional office of the Ministry of the Interior.
