How can I get Czech visa?

Question

I have been living in Prague for past year. Every 90 days I leave so my stay here is legal.

I have applied for the Czech visa twice, and both times been rejected. I have been told this is "payback" because the U.S. government makes it so hard for Czechs to get U.S. visas.

They couldn't find fault with my application or supporting documents. I complied meticulously with the list of requirements they sent me. This time the excuse was that the Czech Police (they give the ultimate yes or no) doubted I was a real student because of my age (47). Hmmm... 150 lessons and I'm not a "real" student? Then they said a language school does not qualify as really going to school.

Obviously, this is just B.S., and you can't fight idiot bureaucrats. Should I just hire a lawyer to push this through? (At the language school, one of the teachers used a lawyer to get the visa)

Any tips you can give?

Answer 1

I would suggest you hire an attorney. In many countries laws are passed and regulations formed that make sure certain people in those countries have job security. By setting up obstacles for you, these jobs come into play. It is unlikely that citizens would ever be burdened with such nonsense, not being a citizen you are fair game. Don't look for fairness, just pay the grease, get the job done, learn the lesson, and in the future avoid all contact with government employees.

Considering the expense if you have to leave every 90 days to get your visa renewed, I think it just might be time to afford yourself of the services of an attorney and get a regular visa, so that you don't have to keep leaving. The attorney will be an investment, but as I stated above, it will probably pay for itself in that you will no longer need to leave on a regular basis and come back with a new visa.

And you are right--you cannot fight idiot government pencil pushers. A friend of mine from high school travels widely, and he recently told me of a ridiculous incident in Europe. His travel itinerary included a lay-over of 8 hours in Spain, but his flight was delayed on the ground, and he completely missed his connecting flight. The next time the airline could get him out of Spain without him having to pay a ridiculous sum of money was three days later. He applied for a 7-day visa at the airport, explaining why he didn't have one in the first place (not necessary on the original itinerary, as it involved a stay of less than 24 hours). He was turned down. He was told he was turned down because of his previous military service here in the US. So, with no visa, he was not allowed to leave the airport, and had to spend the entire time he was there actually at the airport. The airline actually got involved, and explained that it was their goof which made him stuck in the first place, and that all they wanted was permission to send him to a hotel near the airport, but it was denied. The helpful agent at the airport told him that they could do a more extensive background search, and possibly have him cleared in about five days. The whole thing was silly in the extreme. He spent a really miserable three days at an airport in Spain, sleeping upright in chairs in waiting areas. It's just nightmarish.

So hire yourself an attorney, and keep in mind that the Czechs aren't the only ones who are hard to deal with.

Best of luck!
