I will be sponcering my husband to come on family long term visa? What should i attach apart from bank statement? My bank account is attached to a visa card? Is there a specific format for sponcership letter?
On website of ministry of foreign affairs of the Czech Republic .they say the resident permit holder must have resided in the Czech Republic for at least 15 months . But you say they can apply straight away .can you make clear that? .thank you
Well, you are confusing two things - long-term visa and long-term residence permit. RP has rules (such as 6 or 15 months of waiting), visa can be applied for immediatelly.
@@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert thank you for replying .then we can say that a person who got 2 years resident permit, his or her family can apply the visa without waiting the permit holder's 15 months staying in the Czech Republic.
Hi Jan, I applied for spouse visa for my wife. I am employee card holder of CZ. I submitted my job contract + my bank account fund certi + income proof of from my company. My wife visa is in progress for long time. Does it missing anything? She applied for long term VISA.
Noone can explain that :D Maybe someone yes but not me for sure. The thing just is, family reunification is meant for families - husband, wife and child/ren, and equivalents (registered partners, partners). Siblings do not fit the description.

Sir, Obviously you're clarifying so clearly. But just I've a query that: after holding 6 month's employee card what will be the requirements for salary or how much CZK should've been shown in bank statement to apply for long term family reunification visa?
Hey! For the VISA, you only have to show that you have enouhh money in your bank account (see more here: movetoprague.com/family-reunification-visa/). The monthly income is needed for the RESIDENCE PERMIT (see more here: movetoprague.com/family-reunification-long-term-residence-permit/). The minimum for visa in 5/22 is 102 000 CZK, the minimum for residence is say 21 100 CZK net monthly. But that depends on couple factors.
Hi Jan, thank you for the information. it was detailed and understood but I have few questions concerning the Family Reunification Visa: 1. Are you saying there not menial job that spouse can do without the work permit? 2. what are the process or cost of converting the FRV to FRRP for my spouse have something doing pending the time I finish my MSc
Hey! If you are under Family Reunification Visa, you can mot do any type of jobs. You can get a trade license and freelance though :) As for the process of switching from visa to residence permit, all described here: movetoprague.com/family-reunification-long-term-residence-permit/ :)
Hi thank you for the explanation. I am Mimi from Indonesia I have some questions… so i was granted visa type C or visit visa for my stay in Norway this dec. In another side i plan to apply for a family reunification immediately in Norway. Is it possible and allow for staying in norway more than 3 months while waiting for the answer of family reunification status using visit visa type C? Thank you in advance
Hi Jan Thanks so much for the information It's well detailed but I have a few questions.... please since the family reunification visa doesn't allow the spouse to work But if I apply for long term residence permit even when the supposed spouse is not in Czech can work with that if it's approved? And can the spouse....can he or she get long term residence permit even when not in Czech already?
Hi, can you perhaps help with a few questions regarding a family reunification visa in Belgium timeline? We have been waiting a long time with no positive feedback, the only feedback we get is, the process time is 9 months 😢
Thanks for this information Sir, I heard you saying the long term visa takes 60days for it to be approved. My long term visa application has been there for more than 100 working days, wanted to visit my husband for couple of days and return because of my job but no response as at now is there something I could do about it? Note: I've been tracking almost everyday and it is still in process. Will be waiting for your reply, thank you Sir
Hey! Well, in theory yes, we have had clients from Algeria :) You just must be way better prepared than other nationalities. Only try if you have a real and valid business plan which you can back up with documents.
Hi, thank you for the information. One question, can someone get job while having long term visa with family reunion, and is it easy to convert into job visa?
Hi Jan, thank you very much for all information so far. Its quite clear and detailed. But please let me ask u something . Im working and living in CR for two months with Blue card and I would like to bring spouse and kid asap. So is it possible to bring them here first with a family visa and after they arrive CR, could we apply for a family long term residince permit as well here in CR ? Is it also possible to apply for it in CR? If yes then where could we apply for this permit? On the other hand, what if we get 3 months family visa in first place then it might be trouble to apply residince permit becuse the conclusion for approval is min 6 months. Therefore family is out of visa during that time. Hope you understood me. Thanks in advance Hezky den 😀
Hey Berkay, if you have a Blue Card, your family can apply for the residence permit directly, they do not have to wait six months :) So they can either apply through the Embassy or here, both works :)
@@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert Thank you very much for info. I totaly got it but what I mean was better to apply for a visa to bring them here soon therefore I dont have to wait for 180 days for the ministry approval. It should take 2 or 3 months maybe less with visa apply. Afterwards when they arrive here, could we apply residince permit for them as well in CR?
@@berkayertem1837 Yes, that is what we usually recommend :) The main difference is that your spouse will not be able to work under the visa, besides that, for sure faster :)

Hey! Hard to say if we have not worked the case with you. On the other hand, visa generally requires a bank statement, not salary confirmation.
Hi,
Can you explain wy partners are considered as family and not siblings.
Noone can explain that :D Maybe someone yes but not me for sure. The thing just is, family reunification is meant for families - husband, wife and child/ren, and equivalents (registered partners, partners). Siblings do not fit the description.
hi I just have a question. What if the child is illegitimate will he still be qualified for the family reunification visa?
