I am aware that the visa fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.

Applicable in case a multiple-entry visa is applied for (cf. field No 24):

I am aware of the need to have an adequate travel medical insurance for my first stay and any subsequent visits to the territory of Member States.

I am aware of and consent to the following: the collection of the data required by this application form and the taking of my photograph and, if applicable, the taking of fingerprints, are mandatory for the examination of the visa application; and any personal data concerning me which appear on the visa application form, as well as my fingerprints and my photograph will be supplied to the relevant authorities of the Member States and processed by those authorities, for the purposes of a decision on my visa application.

Such data as well as data concerning the decision taken on my application or a decision whether to annul, revoke or extend a visa issued will be entered into, and stored in the Visa Information System (VIS) (1) for a maximum period of five years, during which it will be accessible to the visa authorities and the authorities competent for carrying out checks on visas at external borders and within the Member States, immigration and asylum authorities in the Member States for the purposes of verifying whether the conditions for the legal entry into, stay and residence on the territory of the Member States are fulfilled, of identifying persons who do not or who no longer fulfil these conditions, of examining an asylum application and of determining responsibility for such examination. Under certain conditions the data will be also available to designated authorities of the Member States and to Europol for the purpose of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences. The authority of the Member State responsible for processing the data: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Loretánské náměstí 5, CZ-118 00 Praha 1; Directorate of Alien Police, Olšanská 2, P.O. BOX 78, CZ-130 51 Praha 3 and Ministry of the Interior, Nad Štolou 3, CZ-170 34 Praha 7.

I am aware that I have the right to obtain in any of the Member States notification of the data relating to me recorded in the VIS and of the Member State which transmitted the data, and to request that data relating to me which are inaccurate be corrected and that data relating to me processed unlawfully be deleted. At my express request, the authority examining my application will inform me of the manner in which I may exercise my right to check the personal data concerning me and have them corrected or deleted, including the related remedies according to the national law of the State concerned. The national supervisory authority of that Member State will hear claims concerning the protection of personal data: Office for Personal Data Protection, Pplk. Sochora 727/27, CZ-170 00 Praha 7.

I declare that to the best of my knowledge all particulars supplied by me are correct and complete. I am aware that any false statements will lead to my application being rejected or to the annulment of a visa already granted and may also render me liable to prosecution under the law of the Member State which deals with the application.

I undertake to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa, if granted. I have been informed that possession of a visa is only one of the prerequisites for entry into the European territory of the Member States. The mere fact that a visa has been granted to me does not mean that I will be entitled to compensation if I fail to comply with the relevant provisions of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 (Schengen Borders Code) and I am therefore refused entry. The prerequisites for entry will be checked again on entry into the European territory of the Member States.

What the Paper Visa for Czech Republic Form Is and Who It Serves

The Paper Visa for Czech Republic Form is the consular application packet used by U.S. residents who must submit a physical visa application to a Czech embassy or consulate when electronic submission is not accepted or when supporting documents require paper originals. It collects applicant identity details, passport information, travel purpose, intended dates, and declarations. Applicants often attach photos, proof of accommodation, travel itinerary, and financial evidence. For many U.S. applicants the paper route is used for specific visa categories, document legalization, or when embassy instructions explicitly require wet signatures or notarized attachments.

Why the Paper Form Matters and Its Legal Standing

Completing the paper visa form correctly reduces processing delays and helps ensure consular acceptance of identity and travel claims. Where e-signature is offered, U.S. law recognizes electronic signatures under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA; however, consulates may still require paper originals, notarization, or apostilles for certain attachments. Confirm consulate instructions to determine whether an electronic signature is acceptable or if a wet signature and notarization are required.

  • Students and exchange visitors when consulates request physical transcripts, acceptance letters, or original signatures.
  • Immigration attorneys and visa service firms who assemble supporting documents and coordinate notarizations.

Knowing which profile fits your situation helps you collect the right supporting documents and meet consulate-specific authentication requirements.

  • 01
    Gather Documents: Collect passport, photos, invitation, insurance and financial proof.

Where and How the Paper Application Is Submitted

Paper visa packages follow a short sequence: prepare, authenticate, and deliver according to the consulate or visa center instructions.

  • Prepare Package: Arrange form and attachments in the required order.
  • Authenticate: Obtain notarization or apostille when specified.
  • Deliver: Submit by mail, in-person appointment, or approved visa center.
  • Track: Keep shipment tracking and receipt for follow-up.

Digital Tools and Delivery Options to Support Paper Submissions

Many applicants prepare documents digitally before printing; use formats and tools accepted by the consulate.

  • PDF Support: Use PDF/A or standard PDF for document scans.
  • Storage & Sharing: Google Drive or Box for secure file transfer to third parties.
  • Authentication Methods: Use SMS codes or ID verification for remote notarization.

Ensure any e-signed or scanned files meet consulate instructions before printing; check whether originals or notarized copies are required for final submission.

Timelines, Appointments, and Processing Expectations

Start early: consular processing and appointment availability vary by location and season. Allow time for notarization, apostilles, and mailing.

Consulate Appointment Lead Time:

Schedule as early as possible; peak seasons extend waits.

Document Validity Window:

Notarizations and apostilles may have practical acceptance windows.

Mailing and Return:

Allow extra days for courier delivery and return shipping.

Expedited Options:

Some consulates offer expedited processing for an extra fee.

Plan for Contingencies:

Allow several weeks for corrections or additional documentation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing the Form

  • Using a name that differs from the passport, which causes identity mismatches and processing delays.
  • Failing to include required notarizations or apostilles when the consulate expressly requires original authenticated documents.
  • Submitting incomplete supporting documents, such as missing proof of accommodation or travel insurance, which leads to application rejection.
  • Relying on scanned signatures when the consulate requires a wet signature on the original form and attachments.

Potential Consequences of Incorrect or Incomplete Paper Applications

Application Rejection: Consulate may refuse the visa if required items are missing.
Processing Delays: Incomplete packages extend lead times and appointment rescheduling.
Additional Costs: You may incur extra fees for re-submission or expedited handling.
Travel Disruption: Denied or delayed visas can require itinerary changes and expense.
Record Issues: Inaccurate data can create future verification or immigration complications.
Fraud Allegation: Misrepresentations risk serious legal consequences.
