E)   Residence Documents Issued to Holders of Temporary Protection and Foreign Nationals Granted Long-Term Visas for a Stay Longer than 90 Days for the Purpose of Tolerated Stay Due to the Armed Conflict in Ukraine
Under Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1836 of 25 June 2024 extending temporary protection as introduced by Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/382 of 4 March 2022 establishing the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine within the meaning of Article 5 of Directive 2001/55/EC and having the effect of introducing temporary protection (OJ L 71, 4.3.2022, p. 1), and § 7b of Act No. 24/2025 Coll., amending Act No. 65/2022 Coll., on certain measures in connection with the armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine caused by the invasion of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the following system of residence documents for displaced persons from Ukraine applies in the Czech Republic.
Residence documents for temporary protection in the Czech Republic consist either of a visa sticker for residence authorisation (affixed in the passport or on a state border crossing report) or a PDF confirmation of the extension of temporary protection. Combined with a travel document, these entitle displaced persons to cross the external border of the Schengen area without a visa. Temporary protection documents (visa sticker or PDF confirmation) constitute a residence permit in accordance with Article 2(16) of the Schengen Borders Code.
1.   Visa Stickers for Residence Authorisation (Temporary Protection)







—


Holders of temporary protection who in 2026 received a long-term visa for the purpose of temporary protection have a visa sticker affixed in their passport or on a state border crossing report with validity until 31 March 2027. The validity of these visa stickers may exceed 365 days. These holders do not register for electronic extension and do not receive a PDF confirmation; the visa sticker is their sole and full-fledged residence and travel document within Schengen.










—


Holders of temporary protection who in 2025 had a visa valid until 31 March 2026 registered electronically for extension in 2026. If they do not yet have a new visa sticker valid until 31 March 2027 affixed, they possess a visa sticker valid until 31 March 2026
                              along with the PDF confirmation of electronic registration for extension of temporary protection. This confirmation is a valid residence document until 30 September 2026.










—


Holders of temporary protection who have already successfully completed the extension have a new visa sticker valid until 31 March 2027 affixed in their passport or on a state border crossing report. There is no need to prove the existence of a PDF confirmation; the visa sticker is a full-fledged document.




2.   Confirmation of Electronic Registration for the Extension of Temporary Protection

Pursuant to § 7b of Act No. 24/2025 Coll., which amends Act No. 65/2022 Coll., it was possible to automatically extend the validity of authorisations for temporary protection without the need for a new application through electronic registration. A ‘Confirmation of Electronic Registration for the Extension of Temporary Protection’ issued by 15 March 2026 entitles the holder to reside in the territory of the Czech Republic and to move freely within the Schengen area until 30 September 2026. The validity of this confirmation can be verified by QR code or via the website of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic: https://ipc.gov.cz/docasna-ochrana/overeni-potvrzeni/.
