Depending on why you’re visiting the Czech Republic, you could require a particular kind of visa. There are various visa types available that will work for your situation. To relocate to the Czech Republic, Afghan nationals must get the necessary documentation and adhere to certain requirements. The steps and requirements for migrating are detailed below.
Schengen visa
Afghan nationals need a Schengen Permit to travel within the Schengen area. The only nations that fall within the permit waiver program (which Afghanistan is not) are exempt from this provision. So every Afghan needs a Schengen Card to enter Europe including the Czech Republic. It functions similarly to a conventionally printed card. For a limited time, it allows you to enter the area legally. You can obtain a Schengen visa from the consulate in Afghanistan.
Requirements for Schengen visa
You must finish a list of requirements before you can be issued a Czech Republic Residence Permit for Residents of Afghanistan. The requirements can change based on the form of permit, as the Schengen License can be used for both corporate and tourism purposes. The following are the main papers and items:
- Copy of passport;
- Recently clicked photos;
- Proof of return;
- Traveling insurance;
- Evidence of accommodation;
- The reason behind the visit;
- Proof of sufficient economic resources; and
- Application processing fee.
Work visa requirements
Long-term and short-term European permits are the two main entry types for the Czech Republic. Both are open to application for work reasons, but to remain legal, you must have a working license.
The European Blue Card and the employment card are two long-term licenses that serve as both residency and job licenses. Only EU residents are eligible for EU Blue Cards, not Afghan nationals. Employee cards may be requested by citizens of Afghanistan who have the necessary skills and credentials.
Depending on the sort of permit your workers require, there may be different prerequisites for a Czech Republic work permit. Every Schengen pass demands:
- Job contract;
- Details of the employer;
- Details of the Czech company;
- Salary details;
- proof of residence;
- Educational proof;
- Insurance plan; and
- Evidence of enough financial resources.
Study visa requirements
You must first obtain an admission letter from the institution to which you have enrolled before you can apply for a study pass. Additionally, be sure to complete any payments required to reserve your spot at that institution. In Afghanistan, the closest Czech embassy is where you may schedule a visa application. The following criteria must be met to obtain a student visa in the nation:
- Request form;
- Application processing fee;
- Proof of financial means;
- Proof of college fee submission;
- Proof of admission;
- Proof of past educational history; and
- Evidence of a place to stay.
Within two to four months of filing your request, you will hear back. You may enter the country using the card if your request is granted. Enter the country and request a residency license. You must enroll with the International Law Enforcement as soon as you can after arriving. You will receive a residency permission certificate during registration, allowing you to dwell in the Czech Republic for a full year. You must spend CZK 1,000 to acquire the card.
Family reunification visa requirements
Afghanis may come to this country to participate in family reunification programs; they must do so by requesting a family permit. The applicant must show proof of the family links of people who are presently residing in the Czech Republic to acquire the certificate.
People who relocate for this reason must provide the following papers, which will be incorporated into their permit request.
- Proof of accommodation;
- Health insurance;
- A certificate stating that sponsor will take care of the applicants’ financial needs; and
- Clear criminal background.
Cost of Schengen visa
Fixed rates still aren’t published, only estimated ones. Remember that the projected costs for a Schengen Pass can range from $45 for kids over the age of six to $90 for grownups.
