NOTICE for students from UKRAINE - information on problem-free visas

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic announces:

"Citizens of Ukraine can study in the Czech Republic immediately - they do not apply for long-term residence, they are granted temporary protection, which allows them to start studying, work or perform other activities. "Citizens of Russia and Belarus are currently unable to apply for visas; visa activities have been stopped for them by a resolution of the Czech government. This is one of the restrictive measures taken by the Czech Republic in response to Russia's and Belarus's military aggression in Ukraine."

Insurance

The ART & DESIGN INSTITUT does not provide any medical or health instance for any of its students, nor does it vouch for any medical expenses incurred by any of its students. It is the sole responsibility of students to take out instance according to their preference and the rules of their countries of residence. Anyway we will help you with establishing your local health care (student discounted forms) and after this, you can visit almost all medical facilities in Czech Republic, which are numerous especially in Prague.

Student card (ISIC)

ISIC is the only globally recognized proof of student status for high schools, colleges and universities and selected one-year post-secondary fields of study. You will need this card for any kinds of student’s discounts. We will just need a passport photo from you and then we will manage everything for you.
