Yes. A qualifying sponsor can bring close family under long-term residence for family reunification, and family members gain free access to the Czech labour market.
A third-country national holding a qualifying Czech residence permit can sponsor close family members — typically a spouse and minor children, and certain dependent relatives — under the long-term residence permit for family reunification. The sponsor must meet a residence-duration condition (which varies by permit type), and the family must show accommodation, financial means and comprehensive medical insurance. A key advantage is that family-reunification permit holders have free access to the Czech labour market and do not need a separate work permit. Processing is around 60 days in Czechia and longer from abroad.
