Applicants over 15 years of age who apply for a long-term visa or a long-term or permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic are required to submit a criminal record certificate issued by the country of which they are nationals.
The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Beijing also always requires a criminal record certificate issued by any country or territory in which the applicant has resided for an aggregate period of more than six months during the previous three years. This requirement arises from Section 31 of Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on the Residence of Foreign Nationals in the Czech Republic.
An applicant who is required to provide evidence of their criminal record in connection with a previous stay in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must therefore obtain and submit a Certificate of No Criminal Conviction issued by the Hong Kong Police Force.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining the Certificate of No Criminal Conviction and for complying with the requirements of the Hong Kong Police Force.
