Clients often ask me where their application should be submitted. In the Czech Republic? Abroad? Let's have a look at this topic in this article.

Submitting very first application


If you have never lived in the Czech Republic, you need to submit your application via the Czech Embassy in your home country. Unless...


... you are on the list of the countries of the exception - nationals of these countries can submit their application via any Czech embassy outside of the Czech Republic.

...in the country of your residence, in case you have a residence permit in that given country (sometime' long-term visa is enough, but each Embassy have different rules on this). Note, that not every Schengen country has a visa section at the Czech Embassy. Here you can see the Embassies with visa sections and which other countries they cover.

... you are a family of EU national - in this case you can submit the application in the Czech Republic via the local office of Ministry of Interior


Already living in the Czech Republic on a short-term visa basis?

Unfortunately, short-term visa does not allow you to submit applications in the Czech Republic. Follow the section "submitting very first application."



Already living in the Czech Republic on any long-term visa or residence permit basis?

In this case, you can apply for change of purpose, extension, permanent residency or any other type of permit via the Czech Ministry of Interior department per your address. Each Czech region has at least one office - you can find their addresses and opening times here.
