In this article, we&#8217;re going to describe the amendment in more detail and advise you on what to watch out for when applying for permanent residence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What&#8217;s the amendment about and who does it concern?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re a foreigner living in the Czech Republic and you&#8217;re planning on applying for a permanent residence permit, you&#8217;ll newly be obliged to pass an A2 level Czech language exam, as opposed to the previously required A1 level. That means you&#8217;ll be facing a more difficult preparation. <\/span><strong>The obligatory Czech language exam does not apply to citizens of the EU and their family members.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why the change?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This change aims to support foreigner&#8217;s self-reliance and motivate them to study the Czech language. Thanks to a higher level of Czech, they&#8217;ll have a better understanding of received information, they&#8217;ll be able to solve their issues at various offices, talk to doctors, inform themselves about their kids&#8217; school grades and behavior etc., without needing an interpreter or another third-party. The change was decided on by an expert group made of representatives from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Interior, Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies at Charles University, and other concerned institutions. Another sound argument is that at least an A2 level language exam is one of the requirements for permanent residence in almost all EU countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>When does this new rule take effect?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting on the 1st of September, any applicants applying for permanent residence will have to take the A2 level exam. If you apply before the 1st of September (or if you&#8217;ve already applied), the amendment does not concern you and you&#8217;ll only have to prove an A1 level of Czech, just like it used to be. However, to be eligible to apply for permanent residence, you need to meet all of the requirements described down below. One of these requirements is 5 years of residence in the territory of the Czech Republic to the date of the application submission. That means that if you haven&#8217;t resided in the Czech Republic for 5 years by the 31st of August, you CANNOT apply for permanent residency and avoid the raised Czech level exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does the exam look like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exam is made up of two parts &#8211; oral and written. The oral examination takes about 15 minutes and focuses on understanding basic information about day-to-day life and the ability to communicate such information. Grammatical errors and expressing yourself in simpler sentences are not a reason for failure. The written examination takes about 2 hours and consists of reading and listening comprehension and writing exercises. Before the examination, we&#8217;d recommend attending Czech language courses specially designed for permanent residency examination, so that you may get familiar with the format of the exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How much does the exam cost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your first attempt can be paid for using a free-of-charge voucher, which you can obtain from the Department for Asylum and Migration Policy of the Ministry of the Interior. Any subsequent attempts cost 2500 CZK.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to learn the required level of Czech?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;d recommend attending language courses run by nonprofit organizations and Centres for the integration of foreigners, which include the ICP :-) You can find more information about the courses <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/icpraha.com\/kurzy-ceskeho-jazyka\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HERE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also make use of preparational e-materials, available on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cestina-pro-cizince.cz\/trvaly-pobyt\/a2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.zkouskaA2.cz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> website, on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cestinaprotrvalypobyt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCgfUEx0T8tDDv4WoC3aDYNw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can of course also attend commercial courses in language schools and other institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What requirements must you meet and what do you need to apply?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A) If you&#8217;re a <strong>third-country national<\/strong>, you must submit with your application:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A document proving your uninterrupted stay in the Czech Republic for at least 5 years<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passport<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 photo<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of accommodation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of funds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Czech language exam certificate<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B) If you&#8217;re an <strong>EU citizen or a family member of an EU citizen<\/strong>, you must submit with your application:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a document proving your uninterrupted stay in the territory of the Czech Republic for at least 5 years.
