Non-EU students need a long-stay visa for studies (over 90 days), applied for at the Czech embassy in your home country. After arrival, you register with the Foreign Police within three working days and apply to convert to a long-term residence permit. The Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic publishes the official document checklist; always cross-check with your embassy.
