FAQ
Do I need to leave CZ to apply?
No, long-term residence permits/extensions are usually filed inside CZ at MOI if you already have a long-term stay.
What is a bridging label?
If MOI is still processing when your current stay expires, MOI can place a bridging label in your passport confirming your legal stay while you wait.
Can I change purpose while applying?
Purpose changes require a different filing. We’ll tell you the correct route if your situation changed.
Will I get a biometrics appointment?
Yes, after approval you do biometrics and then pick up your residence card.
