Do you need a visa to study in Prague?

For the Summer in Prague – Business and Economics program, visas are currently NOT required for stays up to 90 days by citizens of the US (U.S. passport holders). When you go through customs and they ask your purpose, you must state “tourism” as your purpose of travel, as you are not a degree-seeking student and will not be applying for a study visa. Once you pass through, they will stamp a visitor visa in your passport and you will be allowed to enter.

Please make sure you have a valid passport for your travels and check to ensure it will not expire any time soon.

IMPORTANT: CISabroad will only advise students on visa procedures for travel requirements for your CISabroad program only. CISabroad is not responsible for advising students on visa issues if they plan to travel internationally before or after the program dates.

Also, these instructions are intended for US passport holders only. International students must be aware of their own visa requirements and any additional documentation and/or processing time needed. Please contact your Program Coordinator for further information and to discuss your visa.
