Foreigners staying in Czechia beyond a short visit must report their place of residence to the Foreign Police Service. For EU/EEA citizens staying more than 30 days, the source gives a deadline of up to 30 working days; for non-EU citizens in the specified cases, the deadline is three working days after entry.
According to the source, residence registration is one of the first administrative obligations after moving to Czechia, and the deadline depends on nationality and the basis of stay. For non-EU citizens, the three-working-day deadline in the specified cases means that the address and supporting documents should be prepared before arrival. The rule is particularly relevant to new workers, students and other long-term residents rather than short-term tourists. It deserves attention as part of the basic compliance checklist for a move.
