Kindly note that the attestation stamp needs to be placed on the original or a certified copy, but not on a simple copy!
• all foreign documents MUST be translated to the Czech language. As formally a certified translation is required, and at the same time the Czech embassy cannot verify translations between Arabic and Czech, we strongly recommend to all applicants to have the translation stamped by the Apostille/legalization stamp as well, if possible,
• all documents must be submitted in original or a certified copy!

During the decision period the applicant may be called in for an interview at the embassy, if requested by the respective Czech authorities,
• after granting the visa, a medical insurance for an amount of at least 60,000 EUR and covering the territory of the Czech Republic needs to be arranged and presented to the Embassy before affixing the visa in the passport - regarding details about insurance please check this article on our website.

Please, beware that in case of long-stay visa applications with the purpose of business, a detailed interview at the Embassy is necessary. The report from the interview will be provided only in the Czech language, therefore we suggest that the applicant makes in advance arrangements for a prompt translation as his/her agreement or disagreement with the content needs to be expressed with his/her signature at the respective report.
