Permanent residence

Permanent residence is a status that allows non-EU citizens to legally reside in the Czech Republic without the need for a residence permit. It is granted to individuals who have lived in the country for a certain period of time and meet certain requirements.

To be eligible for permanent residence in the Czech Republic for non eu citizens must have lived in the country for at least five years continuously, or three years if they are married to a Czech citizen or hold a long-term EU resident status. They must also have a clean criminal record and meet certain financial and health requirements.

Once granted, permanent residence permit allows the holder to live and work in the Czech Republic indefinitely, as long as they do not leave the country for more than two years. It also grants certain rights and benefits, such as the ability to apply for citizenship after a certain period of time.

It is important to note that permanent residence does not exempt the holder from certain requirements, such as registering with the authorities or obtaining a visa for travel outside the Schengen area.
