Overview

A permanent residence permit granted under special circumstances, such as for spouses or children of refugees, or other humanitarian grounds defined by law.

This permit is reserved for individuals facing exceptional circumstances, including family members of refugees or those whose residence is deemed in the interest of the Czech Republic. It grants permanent residence status, though the physical residence card must be renewed every 10 years. It provides full access to the labor market without the need for a job offer.
