Extension of Freelancer visa and Residency permit

If you have a long-term visa as a freelancer in the Czech Republic, you’ll need to renew it before it expires. Pexpats help you with the entire process.
We prepare all the paperwork for your visa and trade licence extension and support you through every step of the process. Most tasks are done for you with a power of attorney, so you save your time and avoid bureaucratic hassles. Your visa and trade licence are both extended for another 2 years and can be used to apply for permanent residence in the Czech Republic.
