Extending your visa in Czechia through language courses
If your visa is running out, you have changed university, been expelled or need to keep a legal basis for staying in Czechia – we will help you choose a suitable programme and prepare the documents for the extension.
BFine.Academy offers six-month and one-year programmes for extending 99 and 23/24D visas.
Who the programmes are for
- students whose current basis of stay in Czechia is running out;
- those who left university or were expelled;
- those changing university or field of study;
- those who need time to prepare for a new admission;
- those who want to continue learning Czech or English and keep a legal stay in Czechia.
We first look into your situation and only then recommend a suitable type of programme.
Visa 99 or 23/24D – what is the difference?
They are different bases of stay in Czechia, so the requirements for the programme and the documents differ.
Visa 23/24D – purpose of stay «study»
For this type of stay the programme and the educational basis must meet the established requirements.
The type of stay can affect the conditions of employment, a later change of the purpose of stay and how the period of residence is counted towards permanent residency. Which option suits you depends on your current visa, your previous basis of stay, your further study plans and other circumstances. That is why we first check your situation and only then recommend a suitable option.
