For applicants who were issued a document of temporary protection (Doklad o udělení dočasné ochrany) or special visa (Zvláštní vízum strpění) the following applies:

• They are exempt from paying the nostrification fee for applications submitted after March 21, 2022, if they do one of the following:

1. Applicant presents a document of temporary protection or a special visa at the Recognition of Foreign Degree Office during the office hours.

2. Applicant makes a simple copy of their document of temporary protection or special visa (if the visa does not include a name and photograph, the passport page with the name and photograph has to also be copied). Applicant writes on the copy „This is a true copy of the original“ or „Kopie se shoduje s originálem“, adds date and signature by hand, and submits this copy together with the application and other documents to the Rectorate of Charles University.

• They can substitute a missing document or validate a simple copy by an affidavit (a written statement). Information on properties of an affidavit can be found on the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport website.

If a Ukrainian document is issued both in Ukrainian and in English, translation is not necessary, an authenticated copy is sufficient. If a document was issued in Ukrainian only, an official translation to Czech or English has to be firmly attached to the authenticated copy.
