Application fee payment

10. How can I pay the application fee?

After you submit your application, you will be prompted to pay the application fee. The cheapest way of doing so is by bank transfer (no additional charges - applies to payments made from Slovakia as well). The System will provide you with the bank account number and your unique variable symbol identifier. Please use this information in your postal money order, payment order, or internet banking transaction document.

11. Payment-related problems

I have underpaid the fee: Please make another payment to pay the remainder of the sum using the correct variable symbol identifier.
I made the payment two weeks ago, but the application has not confirmed the payment yet: Please scan your account statement or the document substantiating your payment and send it to prihlaska@vsfs.cz.
I have used a wrong or no variable symbol identifier: Please scan your account statement or any other document substantiating your payment and send it to prihlaska@vsfs.cz.
Will you refund the fee if I opt not to take the entrance exam? - No, the application fee is non-refundable.

Important: when paying by bank transfer from abroad, you must always choose the option of payment OUR (fees charged to the consignor of a payments).

12. What is the fee payment deadline?

Let us consider the following situation, where the application submission deadline is February 28: Provided you pay the application fee in the evening of February 28, its payment date might be that of the following day, i.e. March 1. That is why the University even accepts the payments made on March 1, or the first weekday following February 28. Therefore, you may also pay the fee in the morning of March 1 since its payment date will still be March 1. However, if you do so late in the afternoon of March 1, its payment date might be March 2 and, as a result, the fee might not be accepted.

The electronic application must be submitted by the midnight of deadline date (usually February 28), though. It is not possible to do so later on.

However, in the leap year, the application can be submitted by February 29.
