Best for:

  • Non-EU citizens in a long-term relationship with an EU/CZ partner
  • Couples living together in CZ (or moving here together)
  • Partners who can show shared life evidence

Eligibility (fast check)

You’re likely eligible if:

  • You are a non-EU citizen
  • Your partner is an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen or Czech citizen living in CZ
  • You can prove a durable relationship (not casual/short-term)
  • You plan to live together in the Czech Republic
  • You have accommodation proof in CZ

This route is not a fit if:

  • You have very limited relationship history
  • You don’t have cohabitation or shared-life evidence
  • Your partner does not actually reside in CZ

Durable partnership proof — what MOI expects

Unmarried partner cases succeed or fail based on evidence strength. We help you choose the safest mix for your situation.

Shared household:

  • Joint lease / owner consent
  • Same registered address
  • Utility bills showing both names
  • Letters delivered to same address

Shared finances:

  • Joint bank account (if any)
  • Shared rent payments
  • Transfer history between partners
  • Big shared purchases

Relationship timeline:

  • Photos over time (not a dump)
  • Travel history together
  • Chats/calls samples (selected)
  • Statements from friends/family

High-impact proof (if you have it):

  • Child together / pregnancy documents
  • Proof of long cohabitation abroad
  • Registered partnership in another country
  • Official documents naming you as partner/beneficiary

What we avoid:

  • Only “soft” proof (a few photos + chats) without cohabitation/finances
  • Huge unstructured message dumps
  • Evidence that contradicts your timeline

Clear task split:

You do:

  • Provide relationship and cohabitation evidence
  • Provide personal documents (passport, photos)
  • Collect apostilles/translations if needed
  • Attend MOI appointment
  • Pay government fee

We do:

  • Assess your durable-partnership strength
  • Build a clean evidence narrative
  • Prepare all forms + cover letters
  • Review housing and sponsor status proof
  • Assemble a submission-ready MOI packet

What’s included in the package:

Eligibility + strategy:

  • Durable relationship fit check
  • Proof plan (what to include/skip)
  • MOI-specific checklist

Visa packet prep:

  • Forms completed & verified
  • Relationship narrative/cover letter
  • Evidence formatting review
  • Final packet assembly

Support:

  • MOI appointment guidance
  • Refusal-risk prevention
  • Email support for follow-ups

Top refusal risks — and how we prevent them:

Evidence too “light”:

MOI needs a shared-life picture, not just feelings.

  • We push your strongest categories forward.

Timeline inconsistencies:

Contradictions trigger interviews and delays.

  • We build one clean narrative across all proofs.

Housing/sponsor gaps:

Even strong couples get delayed on basics.

  • We review accommodation and EU sponsor status carefully.

Reality check:

Durable partnership cases are judged individually. If your evidence is still developing, we’ll tell you frankly whether to wait and strengthen proof or use a different route.

Transparent costs

Included in your price:

  • Durable partnership eligibility + proof plan
  • Complete MOI packet preparation

FAQ

Can I work while waiting for the decision?

In EU-family routes you usually have (or gain) free access to the labor market during processing. We confirm your exact status before you start.

It helps a lot. If you don’t yet, you need very strong alternative proof. We advise on the safest timing.

Your case becomes simpler on renewal. We plan the cleanest path either way.

It’s common in partnership cases. We prepare you and align proofs to avoid surprises.
