Build your application checklist
Choose your situation to see the relevant official guidance. This checklist is only a planning aid; the required documents and submission stage depend on your case.
When applying at a Czech diplomatic mission, the stage when insurance documents are required may differ from an application filed inside Czechia.
For relevant long-term private travel medical insurance, the current official minimum is EUR 400,000 per insured event without a deductible. Exceptions and special rules, including for children, may apply.
Important: Do not assume a student insurance rate is available solely because you study. Slavia confirms product eligibility and the final premium. Children and people in Czech public health insurance may follow different rules.
Selections stay on this page only. We do not save or transmit your checklist.
