  • the period of insurance covers the entire stay in the Czech Republic;
  • the insurance has to include complex/comprehensive medical care
  • you can do so online here: https://www.pvzp.cz/en/

b) get the insurance for the first 90 days of stay from a different insurance company

  • the minimum amount of the insurance coverage is at least EUR 60 000;
  • the period of insurance covers the first 90 days stay in the Czech Republic;
  • the extent of the insurance for the first 90 days of stay may cover only necessary and urgent care, including the costs associated with possible need for a transport to the home/residence country or, in the case of his/her death, those associated with repatriation. The insurance policy must not exclude coverage for injuries and damage caused by the applicant´s intentional acts, injuries and damage caused by fault or contributory fault on the part of the applicant, and injuries and damage caused by the consumption of alcohol, narcotic and psychotropic substances by the applicant
  • in principle, the insurance should be arranged with an insurance company authorised to provide services in the Czech Republic. Information on Czech insurance providers which offer the possibility of arranging the insurance online may be found at www.all-pojisteni.cz. If insurance from a different insurance provider is submitted, the certificate needs to be officially translated into the Czech language together with the full text of rules and conditions of such insurance.

  • 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 of documents to English from the translating agency, which must be stamped by the Ministry of Justice of Jordan.
  • all documents must be submitted in original or a certified copy!
  • long-term visa applications with the purpose of “other” are decided by the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic within 90 days. During the decision period the applicant may be called in for an interview at the embassy, if requested by the respective Czech authorities.
