What does that mean in practice? For instance, the option of online communication and interconnection with the necessary state databases. It also includes the registration of European Union citizens so that the state can keep track of the residence of literally all foreign nationals staying in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cDigitalization will allow us to better connect key registries so that the state has fast and comprehensive information, and it will contribute to better registration of foreigners. Thanks to this, it will be possible to streamline inspections, strictly penalize illegal stays, or revoke the residence of individuals who commit criminal activity,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mv.gov.cz\/clanek\/vlada-schvalila-novy-zakon-o-pobytu-cizincu.aspx\">says<\/a>&nbsp;Minister of the Interior Lubom\u00edr Metnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stronger tools for the potential revocation of residence are another important measure of the new legislation. Officials intend to apply them against criminal offenders and those who pose a threat to public order or internal security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Druh\u00e1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mixed, Czech-Foreign Couple?

This is particularly true for citizens of Vietnam, Mongolia, Russia, as well as China, the United States, or the United Kingdom, who, according to statistics, belong to the heavily represented groups of non-EU foreigners in the Czech Republic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they apply for a residence permit as family members of Czechs\u2014for example, because they\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/infocizinci.cz\/en\/living-in-the-czech-republic\/marriage-to-a-foreigner\/\">marry a Czech woman or a Czech man<\/a>\u2014they must expect more complex paperwork associated with the residence application or its extension. They must also prepare for the fact that, in some cases, they might have to resolve the entire situation in their country of origin and wait for the sometimes lengthy decisions of local authorities.
