Hello Betsy, keep it seceret and keep it safe. There should be a pick up date, usually a week from the day you went there. I take it they did keep your passport right? If so, go back a week later and pick up your shiney new visa. |

Hi Besty, I just checked the interior ministry's site and it is very bureucratic (surprise!). It says that you will receive the permit within 180 days and it will have purple color and that you will pick it up at the same place where you applied. Todd is right, go there in a week. When there, be British, i.e., keep you upper lip stiff if they are unpleasant. Good luck. |

Thanks Gentleman - your help much appreciated.
Todd - I have hidden it in a secret place under my bed... oh shit, now I've told you it isn't secret... I'll have to hide it somewhere else!
They didn't keep my passport (just a copy and a copy of my ziv list), and there is not a collection date on this baby so I think that Nr Not a Brit must be right.... I'll go back sometime soon and see.
Don't worry guys I'm always nice to these people - I'm a lover not a fighter...

Wait a sec - but you pick it up in a different place than where you drop it off - it's around the corner, right? In building B. That mad hallway grab.
Am i correct or mis-remembering? My dealings with the foreigners police are a upleasant blur.
[ btw - I commend the governmental powers for improving the situation there over the last few years. Well done. It's still a Kafka-wonderland but at least mafia-thugs aren't beating people to the ground over line placement... ] |

Ok, weird question and I know I m a brat so don t even bother telling me, but, I was born into a lot of money so I don t need a job here, but I want to live in Prague. Does anyone know the process to get an extended stay visa if you don t have a job, or a legal job for that matter (ie. teaching english to private students for cash)I m an american and currently don t even have the tourist visa anymore because I ve been here past 90 days. I used to cross the border every 90 days, but now the border guards have refused to stamp my passport, as well as some telling me that americans are supposed to leave the EU every 90 days now. I even went to a relocation agency and they told me they had no idea. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. |

Start on SRO. That could be your reason for staying. VC65 is the visa designation. Cost you 50g or so. Can do online. Still have to extend visa every year - but pretty painless if follow the guidelines.
Option 2: Marry a CZech.
Here to request info:
http://prague.tv/business/company-formation.php
Or visit: companies.cz
Also - If you have a problem with storing too much money, we have an extra room here at PTV. :] |

If you're that loaded, Brad, stop by Delloite & Touche (they're behind Tyn church) and ask about buying a pre-existing shell Czech company. It's a little more expensive, but they'll handle everything and you'll be legal fast. |

http://prague.tv/business/company-formation.php is an url to a private company. Where is there a public document on line that in English would flesh out the following:
"Start on SRO... VC65 is the visa designation. Cost you 50g or so."
An SRO doesn't cost "50,000 or so" unless you hire an industrious expatriate to drive to Dresden for you. There are hidden costs, like, you are asked to invest into an insolvent bank, purchase from a nearly bankrupt health insurance industry, but the whole process doesn't cost 50k or so. |

The czech republic is the most corrupt nation on Earth per capita, or so I heard. If you're loaded you should be able to find a way.
PS. If you're loaded, I have some really good business ideas! |

Besty - The potvrzeni that they gave you is probably just to prove that you submitted all the paperwork, although in theory they could give you a potvrzeni to say that you're supposed to come back and provide additional documents.
I'm not from the EU, so if you are, this may not apply:
Within 2 months (took about 6 weeks for me) you should get a registered letter saying that your trvaly pobyt is ready to be picked up. When that happens, take your potvrzeni and the letter back to Olsanska and queue up in front of the appropriate doors -- seems to me that it was 3 & 4, but double check on it to be sure. You'll wait for some time until they come out to collect the next batch of potvrzeni, but when that happens, make sure you don't let them leave without yours as it can take upwards of a few hours to get through all of them. They will call your name when it's your turn to pick up yours. At that point, they will give you a new booklet that looks like a Czech passport except that it's green and says "Prukaz Trvaleho Pobytu" or some such thing on the cover.
Again, maybe it doesn't apply to your situation, but either way, I hope it ends up being a good reference for someone.
Good luck! |

Bra(d/t):
You don't need an s.r.o - a zivnostensky list (business licence) is enough.
That means you don't have to have the 200,000 czk in an account which is what is necessary to start an s.r.o.
Still, the processes are convoluted and tiresome unless you really like learning and speaking beaurocratic czech. I would say, if you are really and truly wealthy, go with the assistance of a company or private individual. As an aside, the designation of your visa need not be VC65 - it could also be VF62... but no matter what, once you are registered here you will be expected to pay taxes...
can't get away... death and taxes... |

Yes, anon #9, it is a private company that sells shelf companies. That was my recommendation for him as he has cash to blow. He can also go the formation from scratch route and save 10-15k but the wait is longer and there's no one to hold your hand thru the process. |

Bra(d/t(s)):
The list is impossible to get - you must ask your zivnostensky desk lady/gentleman which zivnost might be right. They have a book. They will let you look at it, though will not let you copy or take. Usually if you check the web site of your local zivostensky urad, it says they speak english and german - but they don't - so brush up on your cesky or bring a friendly interpreter.
I went for "economic and financial consulting" - no special certificates required.
Now I am superhuman zivnost'ak hahaha

Dear Not a Brit:
I used to think the same, until a friend said to me:
"do you think it would be easier to open a business in the U.S. and base your residency on it - without speaking the language very well and having less than 8,000 USD (200,000 CZK) in the bank?"
hmmm... it is challenging, but not THAT difficult. You just have to jump through the hoops. Like you said, stiff upper lip and all that.
Is it easier for foriegn people in your country? - sadly, not in mine. |

You are a butthead. From Transparency Intl (the best source on this): Finland is 1, UK is 11, US is 18, Czech is 54, Slovakia 59, Bangladesh 133. |

#22: If you are a legal alien with the proper visa or naturalized US citizen, you can register a business in my home town in America with $25 and about an hour and a half. It took me an extra 2 hours (sigh) to copyright a trade name. An ex-girlfriend's father started a pretty successful business with relatively few problems while on the cusp of legality. They are Chilean and had no money to speak of before his business took off, so I don't think any special breaks applied. How you get to be a legal alien is nearly as fucked a process there as it is here, however - especially now that they're "fighting terror", and all that. However, at least they have a website that explains shit clearly. They also offer interpreters who will help you through the process in any one of 5 billion forms of communication. They got C3P0 on it, so ease.
http://uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm
You can't become a legal resident based on founding a business in America, but not because of some lack of empathy on the part of the government: the needs of the state are different - CR needs rich Americans and Russians to launder money through its cities - America doesn't. The "start a business" style of getting an extended visa here seems like the shadow of some sort of federalism to me - they are simply admitting that a businessman has a legitimate need to operate in different states - it seems to have little to do with the kind of "immigration and naturalization" process that America is looking at. |

So is an SRO even a real company that has possibility for growth. Why would anyone pay for one of these things? just so they can get a visa, or is there any oher benefits to having one, and then having to pay taxes? |

this site has us second, and it's rate of embezzlement, not corruption, sorry.
So this comes AFTER you set up your company.

I know you said 'per capita', which is why I explicitly mentioned Slovakia's lower score. I thought you knew that it's smaller than Czech by half.
And that embezzlement link is both strange and misleading. First, Sweden comes in at number one, and as for per capita, its population of 8 million makes it smaller than Czech. Also Czech is sandwiched between Sweden, Finland and Norway, some of the richest and most honest countries in the world (again according Transparency).
I'm sensitive about people putting Czech down. It's my favorite country in the world, and while I agree it has a lot of work to do to crack down on cronyism and corruption, I still wouldn't want to live anywhere else. |

They could be true, but if so, very surprising in terms of murders, and the fact of ranking sweeden as the number one country for embezzelment?weird. good for hassling anti american scandanavians, but sorry I just doubt its accurate.
