Information for Holders of Visas for a Stay of Over 90 Days for the Purpose of Employment, Long-term Residence Permits for the Purpose of Employment and Green Cards
A visa for a stay of over 90 days for the purpose of employment, a long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment and a Green Card will no longer be issued.
Holders of Long-term Visas for the Purpose of Employment
Before the validity of a long-term visa for a stay of over 90 days for the purpose of employment expires, apply for an employee card with an office of the Ministry of the Interior. You can file an application for an employee card not later than before expiration of the period of validity of your visa for a stay of over 90 days. Do not apply at a regional office of the Employment Agency of the CR for extension of the period of validity of your employment permit unless you are one of those foreign nationals who continue to be obliged to have it, i.e. for whom an employee card operates in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card).
If you are one of those foreign nationals who continue to be obliged to have an employment permit, i.e. for whom an employee card operates in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card), apply for this type of employee card.
If you are not one of these foreign nationals mentioned above, apply for an employee card with a dual mode according to the procedure and the conditions stated in the section Filing an Application for an Employee Card by a Foreign National Residing in the Territory of the CR on a Long-term Visa Issued for Some Other Purpose than Employment and Who Obtained an Employment Permit for Employment Which He or She Intends to Continue on an Employee Card.
If you are not a foreign national who continues to be obliged to have an employment permit, i.e. for whom an employee card operates in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card), but, in spite of this, a regional branch of the Employment Agency of the CR issued an employment permit to you because you applied for it or for its extension before the amendment to the Act on the Residence of Foreign Nationals became effective, this employment permit shall remain valid and you can apply for an employee card in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card).
Holders of Long-term Residence Permits for the Purpose of Employment
If you are a holder of a long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment, apply for extension of your long-term residence permit, which will be extended for you in the form of an employee card, if the statutory conditions are met. Do not apply with a regional branch office of the Employment Agency of the CR for extension of your employment permit, if you are not one of those foreign nationals who continue to be obliged to have, i.e. for whom an employee card operates in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card).
You can file an application for extension of a long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment in the form of an employee card no sooner than 90 days and no later than 14 days before expiration of the period of validity of your long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment.
If you are not a foreign national who continues to be obliged to have an employment permit, i.e. for whom an employee card operates in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card), but in spite of that a regional branch of the Employment Agency of the CR issued an employment permit to you because you applied for it or for its extension before the amendment to the Act on the Residence of Foreign Nationals became effective, this employment permit remains valid and you can apply for extension of your long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment in the form of an employee card in what is referred to as the non-dual mode (see the section Special Cases / Non-Dual Mode of an Employee Card).
