Czechia: extending temporary protection to 31.03.2027 is no longer possible — the window closed on 30.09.2026
The extension window closed on 30.09.2026. A repeat application has the same conditions as a first one, with proof via Reserv+, without repeat benefits.
CORRECTION 24.10.2026
The previous version only said “under the current conditions”. The conditions are now named: proof of fulfilled military obligations via Reserv+ and no repeat benefits. [2, 3]
WHAT CHANGED
The option to extend temporary protection until 31 March 2027 ended on 30 September 2026. Those whose protection has expired can apply again. [1]
WHO IS AFFECTED
People whose temporary protection has expired. A repeat application is made under the same conditions as a first one. [1, 2]
WHAT TO DO
Applicants must prove fulfilment of military obligations via the Reserv+ app; this condition covers both first and repeat applications. [3]
Benefits already used (humanitarian housing or state-paid health insurance) are not granted again. [2]
VERBATIM FROM THE SOURCE (Czech)
[1] “Možnost prodloužení dočasné ochrany do 31. 3. 2027 skončila 30. 9. 2026. Pokud vám její platnost vypršela, je možné o ni požádat znovu. Nové žádosti jsou posuzovány dle aktuálně platných podmínek.”
[2] “Podání opakované žádosti probíhá za stejných podmínek jako u první žádosti. Žadatel však nemá nárok na určité benefity, které již čerpal v minulosti (humanitární ubytování nebo zdravotní pojištění hrazené státem)”
[3] “Žadatelé budou muset prokázat splnění vojenských povinností prostřednictvím aplikace Reserv+, aby jim dočasná ochrana byla udělena. Podmínka se vztahuje na žádosti o první i opakovanou dočasnou ochranu a také na dočasnou ochranu za účelem společného soužití rodiny.”
