Visa information

Once you submit the visa application at the Czech Embassy it might take up to 90 days before your visa is issued. Most of the time it really takes 60-90 days.

For the visa application you will receive from us the following documents:

• contract for the accomodation contract,
• admission letter,
• confirmation of your studies (with the study program and dates),
• Economic Policy and Administration,
• payment confirmation (proof that you have payed the first year tuition fees) – this document is not required so sometimes we just send it scanned in an email,
• hard copy of the entrance exam result letter (only students who did the entrance exam from 1st August 2019 onwards),
• hard copy of the nostrification certificate (in case we assisted with that).

All incoming degree students have to arrange a travel health insurance with one of the health insurance companies (VZP, Slavia) cooperating with Mendel university. Both companies have the COVID-19 related situations already covered in the complex travel health insurance. This insurance is usually required once your visa is approved and you are about to get the visa confirmation in your passport/etc. In some countries you will need to have the travel health insurance while submitting the admission documents for visa, see the information at the embassy in your country. You can find information about the health travel insurance companies cooperating with Mendel university here

If your visa is declined, you have three options:

• appeal against the refusal. For this decision, please contact Dr. Nchor, he has contacts for good lawyers. His email is: dennis.nchor@mendelu.cz
• let the appeal time pass and apply again
• ask for refund. Please see our refund policy down the admission process page

Students can be refunded their tuition fee in case of visa refusal or other issues. You will be given the refund if you send us the scanned copy of your visa refusal letter. If you have any other reason for cancelling your application (personal, not being able to get the appointment for visa interview etc.) you will have to wait for the refund till your admission documents expire.

Refund will be calculated as follows:

• for the applicants for Bachelor program we will deduct CZK 6 000 as the administrative fee plus also all the costs of nostrification and the costs of DHL,
• for the applicants for Masters program we will deduct CZK 3 000 as the administrative fee plus also all the costs of DHL (we do not deduct the nostrification fee because you pay this separately).
