Second Pass

Marriage in Czech Republic

The Verdict: Not eligible

This route depends on your spouse being a Czech citizen, so it does not apply to you. If your spouse has a Czech or Czechoslovak parent or grandparent, take our Citizenship by Descent quiz with them first.

If your spouse turns out to be Czech, come back here: the spouse of a Czech citizen reaches permanent residence in two years and then has the five-year wait for citizenship waived.

If your spouse is a citizen of another EU or EEA state or Switzerland and lives in Czechia, you can still hold residence as the family member of an EU citizen. If they are a non-EU national with Czech residence, you would apply for family reunification, and permanent residence takes the ordinary five years.

Without either, the road in is an independent one: work, your own business, or the digital nomad programme for some nationalities. Our Skilled Migration and Digital Nomad quizzes cover them.
