 Česky

An application for extending the validity of a residence card, residence permit, permanent residence permit or permanent residence card is submitted to the MOI office based on your address on the relevant application form.

EU citizens who are holder of a permanent residence permit and their family members who are holders of a permanent residence card are obliged to apply for an extension of the validity of these cards within 15 days of their expiration. Family members of EU nationals who are holders of the residence card or residence permit are obliged to apply for an extending of its validity before the expiration.

If a foreign national is prevented from applying for an extension of the card’s validity within the legally required period due to reasons outside of his/her control, he/she must apply for an extension of the card’s validity within 3 working days of these reasons ending. The foreign national must prove these reasons. If the application is not submitted within the legally required period and there is no obstacle that is outside of the foreign national’s control, the delay in submitting the application for extending the validity of the card will be judged as a violation and a fine can be imposed.

Neccesary documents for applying for an extension of the validity of a permanent residence card issued to an EU citizen can be found on the Official Web Portal for Foreigners.
