Czech Police Passport Requirements for "Foreigners"

bullethis/her subsistence for the period of their stay in the CR up to their departure,
bullethis/her accommodation for the period of their stay in the CR up to their departure,
bulletmedical care for the period of their stay in the CR up to their departure, potentially including costs of transportation of the patient, or the deceased,
bullethis/her stay in the CR up to their departure (this concerns costs incurred to the CR in relation to the stay and departure of an invited individual who is subjected to administrative expulsion).
In a short stay invitation, the inviting person may declare to cover all costs related to the stay of the invited individual or to cover costs related to accommodation only.
 
Invitation forms are available at those Alien Police inspectorates which verify such invitations. The Alien Police inspectorates will verify your invitation within 7 days after its acceptance. The inspectorates collect a CZK 300 fee stamp for each verification.
