Employee Card Extension

If you continue working in the Czech Republic and your stay is tied to an Employee Card, you must apply for an extension before it expires. Extending your card ensures that both your residence and work authorization remain valid without interruption. Our team will guide you through the process, prepare the application, and handle communication with the Ministry of Interior.

What You Need to Provide

When applying for an Employee Card extension, you typically need:

• valid passport,
• recent passport-size photo,
• valid employment contract (or its extension),
• proof of accommodation in the Czech Republic,
• proof of income/financial resources,
• health insurance,
• completed application form.

⚠️ The Employee Card can only be extended if you continue working for an approved employer in a registered job position.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ When should I apply for an extension?
No later than the day your current Employee Card expires. We recommend starting at least 60 days in advance.

❓ Do I need to provide a new employment contract?
Yes, without proof of continued employment, the card cannot be extended.

❓ How long does the process take?
Usually 30–60 days, but in more complex cases up to 120 days.

❓ Can I change my employer during the extension process?
Changing employers is considered a notification of change, not a standard extension. We can also assist you with this.

❓ What if I miss the deadline?
Your residence permit will expire, and you may face expulsion from the Czech Republic. That’s why timely submission is crucial.
