Admission for Erasmus+ and international exchange students SUMMER 2026

VISA: EU citizens (or citizens of the Schengen Area) do not need a visa or a permit to study in the Czech Republic.  Non-EU citizens who wish to become exchange students in the Czech Republic are required to have a long-stay visa when arriving in the country. We advise to start with the visa process as soon as possible. Keep in mind that the long-term visa process can take up to 60 days (2 months).

Erasmus+ students upload mandatory application documents via our online mobility system.

An upload link is sent to your email address.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

  1. A signed application form to be filled out within the mobility system.

  2. Transcript of records from your home university.

  3. Learning agreement: Send us your LA via email or the mobility system for further confirmation.

  4. VSTE housing reservation form or Koleje Pedagog contract.

  5. Copy of travel health policy certificate.
    a) EU citizens upload a copy of their EHIC card into our application system. However, it is strongly recommended to buy commercial insurance, as the EHIC covers basic health care.
    b) Non-EU citizens: The best option is to buy a 5-month Foreigners´ Health Insurance EXCLUSIVE with POJISTOVNA VZP, a.s. For more information, contact the coordinator.

Thanks to the opportunity to come to VSTE in Ceske Budejovice, I have been able to meet wonderful places and people. I would repeat this experience without a doubt.

I was sad when I was leaving the Czech Republic. I met very good people and the School was very nice, the city peaceful. I am planning to return for an internship.

I was comfortable being in the Czech Republic and all my impressions were positive. I would be happy to return to the Czech Republic and possibly come to the master's program.
