Passports, visas and travel documents

The Czech Republic is in the Schengen area. Depending on your nationality, you may need a Schengen visa to travel. Please check your requirements now, as visa appointments can take a long time to get.

Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the date you arrive. If yours doesn’t meet both rules, please renew it now.

If you are not a UK or Irish citizen, check that you can return to the UK. You may need a valid UK visa, an up-to-date eVisa linked to your passport, or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

Each student is responsible for making sure they have the right documents before departure. If you’re unsure, check the official GOV.UK and embassy websites.
