Which family members qualify for Czech family reunification?

Eligible family members include a spouse or registered partner (including same-sex registered partners), minor children under 18 (including stepchildren and adopted or fostered children), and adult children who remain dependent because of financial dependence or a medical condition.

Dependent parents can also qualify, including parents over 65 who are single, divorced or widowed, as well as dependent parents in certain other circumstances. Family members of recognised asylum holders have their own, somewhat different rules. Polygamous arrangements are not permitted - a second spouse cannot reunify if a spouse already lives in Czechia.
