An accommodation provider is understood to be anyone who provides accommodation for remuneration or who accommodates more than 5 foreign nationals, except in cases where the foreign national and the provider can be considered as being in a close relationship.
Accommodation is understood to be a relationship based on an accommodation agreement, a rental contract, a subletting contract or an agreement with a similar content.
In all cases, the accommodation building must have a house number or a registration number, if needs be the descriptive number, and it must be intended for habitation or recreation in accordance with the Building Act.

In case confirmation of accommodation described in the previous chapter as "Written confirmation of an owner or authorised user of a flat or house on consenting to a foreign national’s accommodation" is provided electronically, the confirmation must be signed (not solely in the email by which the confirmation was sent) by a secure electronic signature of the owner or the authorised user of the flat or house, which is based on an official certificate issued by an accredited provider of certification services, or without an electronic signature, but by means of a data box of the person who is the owner or authorised user of the flat or house. A confirmation delivered without a secure electronic signature by means of a data box must therefore always be delivered to the decision-making body using the data box of the person providing accommodation (the authorised person). The person providing accommodation (authorised person) can send a confirmation that has a secure electronic signature, to the electronic mail room indicated below.
The only document the accommodation provider can send electronically is the confirmation of accommodation. Other documents confirming accommodation, such as rental agreements etc., must be provided in a paper form by the applicant.
If the foreign national’s application is filed at a regional branch of the MOI, the confirmation of accommodation can be submitted electronically to the MOI electronic mail room posta@mvcr.cz or by means of a data box to the MOI ID address 6bnaawp.
If the foreign national’s application is filed at an embassy, the confirmation of accommodation can not be submitted electronically.
It is possible to download a sample of the confirmation of accommodation here.
Rental agreement / consent with accommodation with a fixed duration?
Rental agreement / consent with accommodation with a fixed duration?
The fact that a rental agreement/consent with accommodation was issued for a fixed period that has already ended does not mean that the registration of the accommodated foreigner at that address is automatically erased!
Therefore, if you issue a rental agreement or a consent with accommodation for a fixed period, and you do not wish for the foreigner to be registered at that address after the period ends, you must file a request for the foreigner’s registration at that address to be deleted – see following charter.
