If you are currently living in Pakistan and are considering moving to the Czech Republic, the following information will assist you in obtaining a Residence Permit in the nation. Also, keep in mind the distinction that exists between a visa for the Schengen area and a permit to live in the country.
With a Schengen visa, which is considered a short-term visa, you are permitted to travel to and stay in the country for up to a maximum of ninety days during any period of 180 days. Because the Schengen visa is valid in all 26 countries, you are free to go to any of the nations that make up the Schengen area without any restrictions.
The residence permit for the European Union is either a temporary or a permanent permit that allows you to stay in any EU country such as the Czech Republic. The temporary permit is issued to the immigrant for a maximum of five years, and you can apply for the permanent permit after you have lived in the country for at least five years. Students, those traveling into the country to work, and those reconnecting with family members or relatives are the only people who are eligible to receive the permit, and it is only valid for the period of their studies. You can submit your visa application at the Czech Embassy in Islamabad.
