Permanent residence Prague 7 - U Uranie 1583

A place of permanent residence is an officially registered address that every citizen of the Czech Republic has recorded in the population register. It mainly serves official purposes and doesn't necessarily correspond to where a person actually lives. Its main features include that it's stated on the identity card, it determines the local jurisdiction of authorities (e.g. the labour office, tax office, court, etc.) and it's generally used for delivering official mail – the state assumes that a person collects post at this address. However, it has no effect on property ownership – you can register permanent residence in a house you don't own, provided the owner allows it.

A virtual residential address, or permanent residence, is a service that allows you to have an official permanent residence address at the provider's location, without physically living there. It works much like a virtual office for companies or the self-employed – it's mainly a formal address for the authorities, not a place to live. A virtual permanent residence is mainly used by people who don't want their permanent residence at the address where they actually live (e.g. because of enforcement proceedings, privacy, or disputes), people who live abroad long-term but want an address in the Czech Republic, people who have no other option for registering their permanent residence, or people who want access to better or cheaper services in the area (a nursery, an office, parking, etc.).

It's worth knowing that you cannot physically live at a rented virtual residential address, as it's an administrative address that meets the legal requirements for establishing permanent residence, but is not intended for occupation. It's not a flat, there's no bed or kitchen, and you probably wouldn't even get inside without arrangement. The service is of course entirely legal – provided it's offered with the property owner's consent and meets the statutory conditions. Permanent residence has no effect whatsoever on your tax obligations or your place of actual residence, but it does affect, for example, where you belong for elections, the labour office, the vehicle register, etc.

Our clients choose to arrange the service based on their own needs and preferences. Some, for example, do so for access to a nursery for their child or to make it easier to find a dentist, often also because of parking (without a permanent residential address in the area, fees tend to be considerable, running into thousands of crowns a year). Some choose the service to gain greater privacy and anonymity so their home isn't easily traceable, while others arrange a virtual address to improve their chances of resolving insolvency or as an alternative to being registered at the authority.

If you're considering a virtual residential address at U Uranie 1583, Prague 7, take a look at the map beforehand to make sure the location meets your requirements – it always depends, of course, on the specific reason each client is looking for permanent residence with us (privacy protection, access to services, an address for nomads, etc.).

• Privacy protection – Your real address isn't visible anywhere (e.g. in the Commercial Register, if you operate as a self-employed (OSVČ) person), protecting you from unwanted visits, bailiffs, official inspections, or sales representatives.
• Address stability – You don't need to change your permanent residential address every time you move (e.g. when renting), which is useful for people without settled accommodation or those who move frequently, such as digital nomads, students, divorced partners, etc.
• Official address for the authorities – The address is fully official and recognised by the state, so correspondence will be sent there unless you specify otherwise – we don't offer mail management at our virtual residential addresses, but it's enough to arrange mail forwarding to the post office or a Data Box.
• Local jurisdiction – You can choose which city you want to belong to for official purposes (e.g. the tax office, court, labour office); for example, an address in a larger city may mean easier dealings with certain authorities.
• Business discretion – If you're self-employed and don't want your registered office at your home (e.g. because of family or a tenancy agreement), a virtual address looks more professional than a registered office at an older block-of-flats apartment.
