What you need to submit with the application for a Schengen visa
The application form must be filled in completely and signed at the very end of the form. Any person appearing in your travel document (such as your child under the age of 15 or wife) must complete a separate application form. The visa application form for a child under 18 must be signed by a parent or a legal guardian.
Please note: the application form must be filled in only in Czech or English language
