Participants reside in VSE student residences and will be able to request a roommate. The dormitories are about a 25-minute commute on public transportation from the VSE campus.
Participants will book their flights to and from Prague on their own and will arrange their own transportation from the airport to the dorm.
Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the study abroad trip.
Texas Global Passport Services can process passport applications.
U.S. passports are taking an exceptionally long time to be processed. If you are even considering a study abroad program and you do not have a passport (or your passport will expire within 6 months of the end of your program), you should apply for one now.
U.S. citizens traveling to Prague will not require a visa to study in the Czech Republic.
Depending on your nationality, you may or may not require a visa.
Visit the Czech Republic Embassy to view requirements for each nationality.
It is the student’s responsibility to research specific requirements for their nationality, and to apply for their visa, if necessary. At the student’s request, we will provide additional program-related documentation to support their visa application, such as an official letter, enrollment status at UT, housing and insurance coverage. Students are also encouraged to request formal documentation of student enrollment status from the UT Registrar’s Office and are required to notify Texas Global of their travel plans.
