Practical residence & arrival assistant
Plan your next steps in Czechia
Select the situation you are dealing with. Your choices stay in this page only; this is a preparation checklist, not an official submission.
Check what applies after arrival. Reporting obligations vary by residence status and whether your accommodation provider handles the report.
Ask the dormitory or provider what reporting they perform on your behalf.
Check official deadlines: Your citizenship, visa or residence status, accommodation arrangements and place of application can change what you must report, to whom and when. This assistant does not determine your legal obligations.
