An exception is the situation when the application for a residence permit is submitted by the applicant and his/her minor child/children at the same time (only for the purpose of family/family reunification). In such a case, the applicant sends one e-mail, in the text of which he provides the required information about himself and his minor child/children, and attaches a copy of the data page of his travel document and the travel document of his child/children and copies of documents proving the purpose of the applicant's stay in the attachments and the purpose of his child/children's stay. If the child is registered in the applicant's travel document, this must be stated in the text of the e-mail and a copy of the page in the applicant's passport that contains information about the child/children must be attached to the attachment. In these cases, it is not necessary for such minors to indicate another purpose of stay in the email header.

Dates are assigned strictly chronologically in order of delivery of orders to the visa_istanbul@mzv.gov.cz e-mail box

 

Neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic nor the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Istanbul interferes in the order of applicants in any way. Neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic nor the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Istanbul will respond to requests to change the deadline for receiving applications for residence permits. If the applicant does not appear on the set date, he must apply for a new date in the standard way described above.

The rule applies: one e-mail = one applicant, orders for multiple people in one e-mail are also not accepted.
