Czechia sets notification deadlines for foreigners changing address

Published: 16.07.2026

The deadline and procedure for reporting a new address depend on immigration status: it is generally 30 days for long-term visa or residence permit holders, 15 days for seasonal workers, and three working days for temporary protection holders. Missing the deadline may result in a fine of up to CZK 3,000, or up to CZK 5,000 for EU citizens and their family members.

According to the source, changing address is not merely an administrative detail: the notification deadline depends on immigration status and how long the person will live at the new address. The deadlines are particularly short for some categories, including temporary protection holders and seasonal workers. The source also notes possible fines and adverse consequences for a future extension or permanent-residence application. This matters to people already living in Czechia who are moving, especially those under temporary protection.
