Introductory Call
As a next step, we schedule a call to discuss your situation, understand your needs, and outline the process for obtaining citizenship.
Creating the Citizenship Guide
We create a detailed and personalized Czech Citizenship Guide tailored to your case, specifying:
  • how you meet the legal requirements and
  • which documents are needed to support this.
This comprehensive document forms a significant part of our work, ensuring clarity and a well-structured approach to your application, and helps to structure the following process.

If necessary, we handle communication with authorities to clarify specific requirements or obtain necessary confirmations.
Document Collection
We assist in collecting all necessary documents in close collaboration with you. While some documents need to be provided by you, we handle obtaining others on your behalf, such as confirmations from tax offices or other authorities. We will also help you prepare documents such as your CV or cover letter.

All documents are carefully reviewed to ensure they meet the requirements of the citizenship office and are in the correct format.
Application Submission
The application is submitted in person at the relevant office. We can accompany you to ensure everything goes smoothly during this step.
Application Processing
The office processes your application and sends it to the Ministry of the Interior within 30 days. The Ministry then has 180 days to make a decision.

If the Ministry does not decide within the statutory 180 days, we communicate with the authorities to expedite the process.
Taking the Citizenship Oath
After approval, you will be invited to take the citizenship oath. Upon taking the oath, you will receive your certificate of Czech citizenship.
Post-Application Formalities
We assist with additional formalities, such as obtaining a Czech birth certificate, registering with the Special Registry, getting your Czech passport or ID card and more.
