Change of address

You must keep the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic (MoI) informed of your current address. In your file, there must always be a valid accommodation contract.

A failure to inform the MoI results in interrupting of the proceedings which will delay the issue of your residence card or in the refusal of the residence permit as such.

! It is your obligation to inform the MoI of your present stay !

To inform the MoI of the change of address, use this form.

EX:

You change your accommodation address during summer – you move from K2 to K4 and at the beginning of September, you move back to K2.

  • You have a „summer accommodation contract“ starting on June 18, 2024 to August 31, 2024. Send by post Change Announcement Form, indicating the „summer address“ and indicating the new address on your new accommodation contract starting on September 1, 2024.

Why do you have file the form it?

Because the MoI processes your long-term residence application. And you must prove you have a valid address during the whole of your stay in the Czech Republic. If your accommodation contract terminates on August 31, 2024, you indicate you have no accommodation for the rest of the academic year and in the worst case your residence permit will be cancelled.

Application for Long Term Residence Permit/Extension of the Long Term Residence Permit

It is your obligation to apply for a Long Term Residence Permit (LTRP) before your visa expires. You can apply 120 days before your visa expiration date, no earlier. Make an appointment at the MoI well in time!

If you already have a Long Term Residence Permit, do not forget to extend it. You can make an appointment at the MoI 120 days before the expiration of the LTRP.

In both cases you have to bring with you:

  1. Confirmation of study > request at the International Relations Department or at the Study Department
  2. Scholarship confirmation (PhD students) > request at the International Relations Department or at the Study Department
  3. A valid Accommodation contract – make a verified copy and submit it, keep the original
  4. A duly filled and signed Application form (how to fill)
  5. A passport photo – with a white background (a background in colour is not acceptable)
  6. A 2 500,- CZK stamp (to be bought at the post office)
  7. Insurance or employment contract (or both) – make a verified copy and submit it, keep the original
  8. An Account statement

As for the Accommodation contract and especially the employment contract it is highly advisable that you make verified copies. Especially in case you live in private. It is sometimes really difficult to get a new contract from the owner. The same applies for your employment contract. Keep in mind that every year you resubmit the same documents. It is also better for your personal evidence to have always one original of so important documents with you.
