Accommodation, Health Insurance and Visa for International Students

Acommodation:

Is it difficult to find housing?
So far all of our students have found suitable housing. Please consult real estate agency websites for the latest information.

Medical care:
Each student is supposed to arrange Student Health Insurance in his/her country. The Czech Republic normally recognises all health insurances valid within EU. Neverthless, you should check with your insurance office whether this is the case of your particular health insurance - please make sure your insurance is valid in the Czech Republic.
For health insurance circumstances within Czech republic consult the website HERE.
For concrete possibility of medical assistance in case of need consult the article Medical care for students in Prague.

Immigration/Visa:
Foreign students are responsible for their legal status while in the Czech Republic. Please contact your local embassay for more specific information about obtaining a student visa. Students from EU countries and the US may opt to legally visit the Czech Republic without a visa – please consult your embassay.
