Nárok na studenta: Co to je a kdo ho může použít?

When you enroll in a language course, you become a nárok na studenta, právní status, který potvrzuje, že jste aktivním studentem jazykové školy a splňujete podmínky pro výhody jako slevy, závazky k zaměstnavateli nebo víza. Also known as potvrzení o studiu, it is not just a piece of paper—it’s your key to benefits like reduced public transport fares, housing support, or visa extensions in the Czech Republic. Many people think this is just a formality, but if you’re applying for a residence permit, trying to get a discount on insurance, or need to prove you’re not unemployed, this document can make or break your case.

It’s not about attending classes once a week. To qualify, you need to be enrolled in a structured course with a minimum number of hours—usually at least 15 hours per week for at least 10 weeks. The school must be officially registered with the Ministry of Education. Not every language course counts. If your school isn’t on the approved list, your potvrzení o studiu, dokument vydávaný jazykovou školou, který potvrzuje vaše studentství a počet hodin won’t be accepted by authorities. And don’t wait until the last minute—these documents usually expire after 12 months, and some offices won’t accept older ones even if you’re still studying.

Who uses this? Students applying for long-term visas, parents claiming child benefits, people on unemployment who need to prove they’re in education, or even those trying to get cheaper gym memberships. It’s not just for young people—you can be 40, 50, or 60 and still qualify if you’re taking a proper course. The key is consistency: you can’t just sign up and disappear. Attendance matters. The school tracks it, and so do the authorities.

There’s a big difference between a certificate from a casual meetup group and an official student jazykové školy, osoba, která je zapsaná do oficiálního programu jazykové školy s pravidelnými výukovými hodinami. If you’re serious about using this status for legal or financial reasons, choose a school that issues valid documents. Look for schools that are registered with the Ministry and have a clear curriculum. Don’t fall for cheap offers that promise instant certificates—those won’t hold up.

And here’s the thing: you can’t reuse the same document every year. Even if you keep studying, you need a new one each time. Schools update them regularly, and the dates matter. If your visa expires in June and your certificate says it’s valid until May, you’re already late. Keep track of expiration dates like you would a driver’s license.

Whether you’re applying for a visa, claiming benefits, or just want to know your rights as a language student, these articles give you the straight facts—no fluff, no guesswork.
