Thank you so much very useful information 👍
My pleasure! :)
Thank you for the information sir😊
Happy I can share it with you guys :)
Employment card
1. Document showing the vacancy number is required to be submitted with other docs.
Highlight 🎉
Blue card
1. Validity of the blue card is extended to 3 years.
2. No need to seek permission from MOI for a change of employer. Still needs to inform MOI within 3 days of employer change.
3. Blue cardholders will be able to stay unemployed for up to 6 months instead of 2 months.
4. Blue card holders from another country will not be required to submit a criminal record + educational document.
Long-term visa for family reunification
1. Visa will be granted to children only up to the age of 18yrs old.
PR
1. Cannot apply for PR if you have a bridging visa.
Thank you for the summary :)
Are these changes applicable retrospective basis ? I.e. if blue card has validity started before 1st of July 2023, so which laws are applicable
Great man, i wanna ask about health insurance, which companies are recommended to be used for long term visa applications
Please check my other video about the pVZP monopoly being canceled: czcams.com/users/livegFibIaqot88?si=yob8NjgaUkxJh0o5 :)

I still do not fully understand the difference between public and private healthcare. Are there videos about this topic!?

Hey Jan, Thank you for the video and detailed explanation of new changes. you are doing great job as always.
My kid's LTRP is going to expire in Aug 2023.I have already applied for extension and purchased pvzp insurance for next 2 years as its required for LTRP application.
Going forward if he will be covered by public insurance, Do we need to pay for public insurance or its completely free? Do you know what will happen for already paid pvzp insurance?
Hey and thank you for the nice words :) As for public insurance, I am pretty sure it will not be for free :) If you get registered into the public system, you can cancel pVZP and get a portion of the cost back.
Regarding public insurance fee - it won't be free, you would need to pay every month for your child same amount that self-employed persons in CZ pays insurance (cca some 2k Kč);
Regarding ending PVZP insurance policy - It won't be possible as there is a provision in law change that states that children with commercial insurance will be able to join public insurance after commercial insurance policy expires ... Also, in papers you get from PVZP when signing for insurance you can read that there is no possibility to end agreement and get back money more than 2 months after start of your policy ... They thought on everything ...
@@dufko86 Thank you for the detailed info. As I said I couldn’t avoid buying of pvzp for 2 years because of my kid’s residence permit renewal in August
@@muralidharasai2763 you can buy PVZP insurance just for 1 year, e.g.,but your kids residence permit will also be only for a 1 year.
@@dufko86 Thank you for sharing this! If you could share an official source of the info, that would be great! As for pVZP, our clients cancel it when they get into the public system (say when they get employed) and it's fine, they just do not get much money back 🤷
Hey Jan,
I came to CZ on 1st January, 2023 on a employee card. I am looking to change my employer, will the new rules apply or the old ones?
Thank you.
There are generally no news for employee card holders. For all processes started afzer the changes became effective, the new rules apply. Only for processes starzed before the changes became effective, the old rules would apply.
Good day
I was planning for the employee card through move to Prague from Saudi Arabia. Now I have to complete 2 years of my iqama for the application. Things got massed up 😢
Yeah, they usually do with the changes of the law. And there are always people who get caught up in the middle of the changes.
In my case my mother left Czechoslovakia in 1952 and married an Englishman. I want to regain my Czech nationality, I have relatives that I visit. My Czech is so-so because my English father stopped us as children learning it. I am 60 but have money so don't expect to be dependent on Czechia for income, just want to be able to live there without visa for extended periods without a visa, while retaining property in the UK and pensions etc. in the UK. But maybe also being able to buy property in Czechia / live by my relatives in Czechia to make up for lost time. What are my prospects with this?
Hey! Thank you for your comment. We help with obtaining Czech citizenship but only the "standard way", after long enough of living here, not through descent. I recommend getting in touch with Czech Embassy in the UK, they should be able to direct you somewhere.
Hi is the blue card is the same with employee card? The provisions of blue card also same with the employee card
Check out this video about the difference between the employee card and a blue card: czcams.com/users/liveyXwUraltjCc?feature=share
Wow, such awesome Blue Card changes! 😄
Yes! Those are great in my opinion!
I like watching you 🤗
What do you like watching exactly? :)
I'm living in Brno for 4 months now. I have the Employee Card and I want to bring my wife and 2 kids with the Family Reunification Residence Permit. But I don't know if there is a minimum area for the apartment I'm living as they are going to use my address as proof of accommodation. Can you clarify that for me, please?
There is but as long as you do not live in a small room in a shared apartment, you should be fine :)
Hi Jan, Regards. My wife visa has got approved and the embassy has sent an email for arranfging insurance for 1 year. They said it can be from pvzp for complete 1 year or 3 months from other vendors like Axa and remaining 9 months from pvzp. As I am having blue card and she is allowed to work from day 1st so obviously she would be getting insurance from employer too . In this case can’t we arrange it for only 3 months from pvzp?
Hey! Nope, there is no quarantee she will get a job, nor that she will stay in one. So you need to buy the full insurance. I would not recommend buying 3 months of emergency and the rest of comprehensive, just buy comprehensive for the full period of time.
@@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert I am going with full time with pvzp .
I have a work contract and an employment contract with the vacancy number and the confirmation of the Ministry of the Interior on the legal entity that receives a foreign citizen to work on the territory of the Czech Republic. This contract was issued by the Czech Republic on 2/5/2023. I did not receive an appointment For your information, I sent an email to the embassy, but there was no response
Where are you trying to apply?
sri lanka
@@nishanfernando2410 Well, in that case, you have to get an appointment in New Delhi which is not possible at the moment.
If I acquire an other visa to study czech (Preparatory Course for university). If I were to be accepted at a public university after finishing the preparatory course, can I then switch to a student visa?
Reason I am asking is since other visa prevents you from working while studying right?
Correct, you can generally only work under the student purpose. Switching to student residence permit is possible :)

Hey Jan,
I'm having the Blue card and my wife has long-term residence permit. If our child is born here in czechia, the child will get the public insurance right? Will we not have to pay for the public one as well for the child?
Hey! Yeah, the child will get public health insurance when they get the residence card. The child is also covered somewhat after giving birth. I am mot exactly sure how it works thougj since this is new from Jan. I think you will have to apy for your child (i.e. additional deduction from your salary).
Hi sir
For long term work visa is it mandatory to book the visa appointment by the employer? If the company ask us to book the appointment what should we do? Already received the work permit.
If you have to apply in India and your employer asked you to get appointment yourself, you have most likely been scammed :/
I got 90 days work permit Czech Republic 18 june to 15 September 2023 but until i didn’t get vfs appointment. My question is if i get vfs appointment then how maney days i will get visa please i want to know reply me kindly.
Hey! The short-term visa is generally decided within two weeks. But it can vary from case to case.
So approx 25-30 year students can't invite spouse on family unification while being on study visa?
What do you mean?
Hello Jan! I'd like to have an online meeting with you to discuss a potential cooperation. Would this be possible?
Hey! Please get in touch using the details in the description of the video and we can discuss :)
Sir jan. I have a seasonal visa valid until october 2023. Can i apply for extension visa or residence card or anything that can legalized me by working in czech republic

Hi sir

My employee card have expired and got bridge visa for 3 months.but i am planning to go to india in 3rd month of bridge visa so my query is
Should i extend or get new bridge visa in advance before travel in case new permit not approved
Or can i get bridge visa in india from cz embassy in case if i not come back before expiry?
Hey! Definitelly get a new bridge visa before you leave. If your bridge expires while in India, you might never come back.
Hello sir, is National Bureau Investagion Clearance Apostille is needed in visa application? I'm here in qatar. Also I want to ask if bank statement is needed?
