Temporary residence Permit
(family member of an EU National)

You must submit the application at the latest within 3 months from the date you entered the Czech Republic or from the date your previous residence permit expired. If you become a close family member of an EU citizen only when already residing in the Czech Republic, you must submit the application within 3 months from the date you have become a close family member of an EU citizen.

During the time when the application is being processed, you are staying in the Czech Republic legally even if your current residence permit expires (for more information please see the section Fiction of residence).
