Permanent Residence

Build your long-term future in Czechia

For many third-country nationals, Czech Permanent Residence can become available after five years of qualifying continuous residence.

The status is indefinite, while the physical residence card must be renewed periodically.

CETO Global assesses each case and coordinates the process with qualified Czech legal and immigration professionals.

An indefinite underlying Czech residence status, subject to continued compliance with the law.

Free access to the Czech labour market.

Access to public health insurance and qualifying social rights under the applicable rules.

A stronger position for long-term settlement and a separate future citizenship assessment.
