Overview

Long-term visa or residence permit for stays exceeding 90 days in the Czech Republic for purposes outside standard categories, valid up to 1 year without work authorization.

The Long-term Visa for the purpose of 'Other' is a catch-all category for individuals intending to stay in the Czech Republic for more than 90 days for reasons not covered by specific categories like employment, study, or family reunification. It is commonly used for activities such as attending non-accredited educational programs or other specific personal situations that require a prolonged presence in the country.

The visa is issued for a maximum of one year and does not authorize the holder to engage in gainful employment.
