This is necessary to establish the sincersity of the application and satisfy the relevant state authorities. This deposit will be held by the school and will be put towards the student's first semester tuition fees.
- After this deposit has been received by the school, and the applicant's adequate language skills have been established, the school will issue a formal Confirmation of Studies document as well as assist (where necessary) in finding short-term accomodation for the applicant in Pisek (along with the formal Confirmation of Accomodation notice). Both of these documents are requirements in any student visa application.
