APPLICATION FORMS FOR A VISA TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC IN 2021: A SAMPLE OF FILLING

Send

When applying for a Czech visa, one of the main documents required for submission to the consular department is the application form. There are two types of applications for a visa to the Czech Republic in 2021: for a short-term Schengen visa and for a long-term national one. However, before you start filling them out, you must carefully read the rules, since incorrectly completed forms are not accepted for consideration by consular officers.

Types of Czech visas

There are four types of visa to the Czech Republic:

airport transit - issued to travelers directly at the airport when transferring;
transit - issued to travelers traveling through the Schengen area by land at the border point;
Schengen - issued for tourist, business, medical purposes and is valid not only on the territory of the Czech Republic, but also on the territory of all member states of the European Union, the European Economic Union, as well as Switzerland, which together form the Schengen zone. Schengen is issued for a maximum of 90 days in half a year, but if a visa is requested for a single entry, it can be issued for a period corresponding to the planned period of stay, for example, 7, 14 or 30 days;
long-term (national) - such a visa is needed for those who plan to study, work or apply for a residence permit in the Czech Republic if there is a reason for that.

Rules for filling out questionnaires

The questionnaire is a 37-item questionnaire. Each item is placed in a separate cell.

The first questionnaire contains a place for a photograph of 3.5x4.5 cm in the upper right corner.

There are 4 sheets in the questionnaire in total. All questions are placed on the first three pages, the last one is intended for signatures confirming the applicant's familiarization and agreement that:

visa fee in case of refusal to issue a visa is not refundable;
the applicant undertakes to take out medical insurance for the period of the first and all subsequent visits (in the case of a multiple-entry visa);
the applicant agrees that the personal information specified in the application form will be transferred to the competent authorities for review and making a decision on issuing a visa.

When filling out the questionnaire, the following rules must be observed:

The questionnaire is filled out in Latin letters.
If the questionnaire is illegible or has blank items, it will not be accepted by consular officers.
Modified questionnaires (with shifted fields, frames or on a larger number of sheets) are not accepted by consular officers.
The pages of the application should be printed on four separate sheets.
The questionnaire can be printed and completed in blue pen by hand, or you can download a PDF file and fill out on your computer and then print. The signature is placed separately after printing.
You cannot use a corrector to correct errors.
After completing the application form, you need to sign in two places (three if a multiple-entry visa is requested). The first place for signature is item 37, the second is in the second frame on the fourth page (needed for those who apply for a multiple-entry visa), the third is at the bottom of the fourth page.
For children of 14 years old, a parent or guardian signs the application form. If the applicant is from 14 to 17 years old, then he puts one signature himself, and the second - a parent or guardian. Applicants aged 18 and over put their signatures everywhere on their own.
The citizenship of the country should be indicated in the application form in the form of an international code of three letters, for example, Russia - RUS, Ukraine - UKR, Belarus - BLR.
