Fun fact
Did you know that when applying for any visa permitting a stay in the Czech Republic for more than 90 days (including certain work permits – Blue Cards and employee cards) the application requires a document proving that accommodation has been secured for the term of the applicant’s stay in the Czech Republic? That means you must secure accommodation before filing an application for a visa without knowing whether the application will be approved.
