British Citizens’ Obligation: Residence Permit Exchange

by Dana 0 Comments

Residence Permit Exchange

British and living in the Czech Republic?

Please be informed that certain foreigners and their families are obliged to exchange their pre-Brexit residence permits for a new Biometric Card.

The amendment concerns UK nationals and their family members.

The process of obtaining a Biometric Card must be initiated no later than 31 August 2022. However, applying early will avoid high demand for appointment dates.

BIOMETRIC CARD IS A PLASTIC CARD CONTAINING YOUR PHOTO AND FINGERPRINTS DATA.

Recommendations:

All holders of UK passport, including children of all ages, should apply for a Biometric Card as soon as possible.

Consider:

Appointments for applying at the Ministry of Interior are often scheduled within 30–60 days.
The applicant must be personally present.
There are no Governmental fees for this procedure.
