Czech immigration should not take over your life
A small paperwork mistake can create a very big problem.
Immigration rules are difficult to interpret, official communication is often in Czech, and every case depends on details that online forums, Facebook groups — and today's AI tools — cannot see. We regularly see cases where AI sent someone toward an illegal-stay scenario. When your right to live, work or study is involved, guessing is not a strategy.
ManGO gives you a clear plan, prepares your case properly and stays with you when the process becomes complicated.
Forums, Facebook groups and AI chatbots rarely reflect your exact permit, nationality, employment or deadline — and a wrong answer can cost your legal status.
Time pressure
Extensions, employer changes and document requests can have strict deadlines.
Language barriers
Forms, appointments and official letters are difficult to handle when Czech is not your first language.
Administrative overload
Collecting, translating, notarising and checking documents can consume days of your time.
Uncertainty
You deserve to know what is happening, what comes next and what you are paying for.

For spouses and children under 18 who accompany the main applicant to Czechia. Issued for 91 days up to 1 year. Does not grant access to the Czech labour market — a job in Czechia requires a work permit or a switch to another permit type (typically Employee Card or EU Blue Card).

Issued for 1 year and up to 2, 3 or 5 years depending on the main applicant's permit. Key benefit: free access to the Czech labour market — no work permit needed and you can change employers freely.

What does ManGO Mobility do for individual expats?
ManGO Mobility helps foreigners in Czechia prepare and manage Employee Card, EU Blue Card, family, student and other residence processes. Each client receives a personal case assessment, a tailored document plan and support with preparation, appointments and authority communication where legally possible.
Changing jobs in Czechia?
Your next step depends on the type of residence permit you hold.
Not every permit gives the same access to the Czech labour market. Some permits — such as Permanent Residence, Family Reunification or an EU Blue Card after two years — allow free job changes with little or no paperwork. Others, including most Employee Cards, require advance notification (typically 30 days) and you cannot start the new role until the required conditions are met. Some statuses do not permit employment at all without an additional permit. Relying on AI tools or expat forums to tell them apart is risky — we will identify the correct process for your specific permit, prepare the notification and help you avoid a preventable employment gap or illegal stay.
Professional fees from 3,500 CZK

“Thomas has been immensely helpful throughout my immigration process in the Czech Republic. His professionalism, timeliness, and dedication played a crucial role in bridging the gap between myself and the complexities of Czech paperwork. He is undeniably exceptional at his job, and I highly recommend him.”
Vashish N. ImrithBEng | MBA
“I am pleased to provide my strong recommendation for Thomas who assisted me with my immigration process in Czech Republic. From the very beginning, Thomas demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, answered all my questions patiently, and ensured that I fully understood my options and requirements. His guidance made what could have been a stressful and complex experience feel organized and manageable.”
Marijana StevanoskaCollection Specialist
“When I moved to the Czech Republic five years ago, my visa situation was complex, but Thomas handled it with exceptional expertise and care. He not only made everything work, but consistently kept me informed and reassured me at every step of the process. Even after my visas were secured, Thomas remained a trusted point of contact for years, always available and reliable.”

“Miša is an expert in legalization procedures. She supported me from the very beginning of my process, and everything went smoothly. She was always helpful and responsive, answering all my questions regarding visa processes in the Czech Republic.”
Oscar RodriguezProduct Marketing Manager
“I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and highest recommendation for Michaela Balounova (Venclova). Having worked with her for nearly a decade, I can confidently say she is an exceptional specialist in migration support. Michaela's support began in 2016 during my initial onboarding, where she ensured the seamless preparation and submission of documents for employment permit approval. Her impact grew even further in 2017 when she voluntarily assisted with the arrangement of residence permits for my wife and son. Throughout the period of 2017–2025, she has remained my primary point of contact for numerous document preparations and renewals.”
Roman MalankaPG System Validation Operations Manager
“Michaela was handling all my legal documentation related to work/life in Czech Republic for 6 years. Throughout the entire time, she was really professional and responsive. Whenever there was an obstacle, she quickly found a way to solve it. I was always really satisfied and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with such issues.”
Dušan StojanovićFrontend developer
“I've worked with Michaela for several years, and she has always supported me with all immigration-related matters through PwC. She guided me through many challenging situations and consistently provided clear, reliable advice. Michaela knows the immigration field very well, has a positive attitude, and approaches clients with professionalism and care. She is hardworking, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to work with. I'm happy to recommend Michaela for future cooperation.”
Ivana ŠkodováGlobal Mobility Expert
“I am deeply thankful for your support and guidance throughout the process of obtaining my visa and residence permit in the Czech Republic. During the entire process, Thomas demonstrated strong expertise in immigration law, along with diligence, flexibility, and an excellent ability to prioritize, which made everything smooth and easy to understand. Relocating to a different country is never an easy decision, but when you can rely on someone like Thomas, the experience becomes far less stressful and genuinely positive. He truly went above and beyond, and I would recommend hiring Thomas's services 100%.”
Jose Garcia CalderonHR | Compensation Professional
“Thomas has been an incredible partner and true professional.

Frequently asked questions about Czech visa and residence support
Can ManGO help me if I am already living in Czechia?
Yes. This service is designed primarily for foreigners already living in Czechia as well as newcomers. We help with applications, extensions, changes of employer, family residence, student status, permanent residence and other immigration matters. Your available options depend on your current status and deadlines, so we begin with an individual assessment.
Which Czech visas and residence permits do you support?
Our priority services include Employee Cards, EU Blue Cards, family visas and family reunification, student visas and residence permits, and employer changes. We also assist with permanent residence, EU-related residence, business or freelance cases, citizenship and selected administrative matters.
Is the first consultation really free?
The initial 30-minute assessment of your specific case is free. Its purpose is to understand your situation, identify the likely service and explain the next step. It is not a general training session or a substitute for a full written legal analysis.
Do I need to visit the immigration office personally?
Some steps require your personal attendance. We handle or prepare everything that can legally be completed without you, book appointments where applicable, prepare you for the visit and can provide in-person assistance when agreed.
Can you communicate with the Czech immigration authorities for me?
In many cases, yes, when representation is legally possible and the required authorisation is in place. Some actions and appointments must still be completed by the applicant personally.
How much does immigration support cost?
Professional fees depend on the service and complexity. For the main B2C services, indicative fees start from 10,000 CZK for an extension and from 12,000–15,000 CZK for many first applications filed in Czechia. We confirm the price, included work and likely third-party expenses after the free assessment.
What is not included in the professional fee?
Unless your individual quote states otherwise, government fees and direct third-party expenses are separate. These can include notarisation, sworn translations, couriers, medical insurance, accommodation documentation and other external services.
Can you guarantee that my application will be approved?
No responsible immigration professional can guarantee a decision made by the authorities. We assess the available facts, identify risks, prepare the application carefully and help prevent avoidable mistakes, missing documents and missed deadlines.
Can you help me change employers with an Employee Card or EU Blue Card?
Yes. The correct process depends on your permit and labour-market access. Some changes are reported after they take effect, while others require advance notification or additional conditions. Contact us before your planned start date so we can assess the correct procedure.
Can you help clients outside Prague?
Yes. Most preparation and communication can be handled online, and we support clients in Brno and across Czechia. The competent office, filing method and need for personal attendance depend on your residence and type of application.
What should I do if my deadline is close?
Submit the assessment form immediately and include the exact deadline, current permit type and any official letter you have received. Do not send sensitive documents through the public form. We will explain the secure next step if we can assist.
Is advice from an expat Facebook group or an AI chatbot enough?
Community experience and AI tools can be useful for orientation, but neither can replace an assessment of your nationality, current status, employment, family situation, documents and deadlines. Immigration decisions are fact-specific. We regularly see cases where generic forum answers — or confidently wrong AI replies — sent applicants toward an illegal-stay scenario. Do not leave something as fundamental as your legal stay in Czechia in the hands of AI or social-media groups.
Does the free assessment require a call?
No. Many clients prefer written communication. You can send us your situation in the form and receive a written assessment by email, or book a short 30-minute call with a written summary afterwards. You choose the format that works for you.
