Do you want to move to the Czech Republic for a longer period of time to work, study, do business or reside with your family here? The leaflet How do I do this? will provide you with clear and summarized information about the basic things that you need to do and conditions you need to meet in order to obtain one of the residence permits allowing you to live in the Czech Republic on a long term basis.
If you plan a longer residence in the Czech Republic, you will find the brochure Next Stop the Czech Republic very useful before departing from your country.

Compared to the leaflet, the brochure includes more detailed information and it aims to familiarize foreigners with rights and obligations they will have when living in the Czech Republic. The brochure also aims to help with basic orientation in areas that are crucial to foreigners.
