Can a family member work or study on a Czech family reunification permit?

A long-term residence permit for family reunification gives the holder free access to the Czech labour market, meaning they can take employment without needing a separate work permit. This is a significant benefit compared with work-based permits that tie you to one job.

Study is also permitted, which matters for dependent children and young adults continuing their education. As with any permit, the holder must keep meeting the conditions of the permit and follow the standard obligations that apply to foreigners in the Czech Republic.
