Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Blue Card holders have a right to immediate family reunification. Family members are eligible for long-term residence permits for the purpose of family reunification.
Is it better than an employee card?
Yes, if you qualify. Blue Cards offer easier mobility within the EU (after 12 months) and a faster path to 'EU Long-term Resident' status if you have lived in multiple member states.
Do I need to legalize my degree?
Usually, yes. Your diploma must be officially recognized through 'Nostrification' unless your university or country has a specific treaty with the Czech Republic.
