So, this is it: Great Britain exits the EU. If you are the same shocked as we are here in MOVE TO PRAGUE, being a British citizen you are probably wondering what this means for you and what to do next.

You might feel a little confused or overloaded with different information. Good news – there is no need to panic! If you are already in Prague (or other Czech Republic region), you can apply for a TEMPORARY or PERMANENT residency depending on the time spent in the Czech Republic.

IMPORTANT: better obtain the residency card as soon as possible while the old rules still apply.
Yes, you still have 2 years till Britain actually exits, but you never know how the bureaucracy system changes here.

What do you need to do to apply for the temporary residency?

    • Hi TP, thank you very much for the comment. What visa do you exactly mean? The processing time depends on many factors. But to give you a general idea – residence for EU citizens takes up to 30 days to get approved, long-term business visa about up to 60 to 90 days, and partnership visa/permit can take up to 180 days since there are also visits in your household required. Please contact us if you need more specific information.

  • I have the 10 year visa and married to a Czech girl and have kids. but what do you think will happen when it expires?

    • Dear Davey, thank you for your comment. The thing is that no one really knows what is gonna happen. I would not be really afraid in your case. If you have a permanent residence and the whole family here, you will be always allowed to stay, with or without the UK being a part of the EU 🙂

    • Hi Peter, thank you very much for your question. It depends on several factors such as your nationality, purpose of stay or other services you order. We´ll get in touch with you shortly to be able to provide you with a relevant reply.
