It means, submit documents such as confirmation of studies, contract of accomodation, agreement of ownership property in the Czech Republic, trade license etc.

  2. However, the normal residence of a person whose occupational ties are in a different place from his personal ties and who consequently lives in turn in different places situated in two or more Member States shall be regarded as being the place of his personal ties, provided that such person returns there regularly. This last condition need not be met where the person is living in a Member State in order to carry out a task of a definite duration. The license has to be made of paper or plastic. For plastic driving licenses, the 54 x 86 mm format should be applied. Their colour should be pink.

    1. Hi Karl,

      yes, there is an age limit for driving cars here in the Czech Republic. For most types of vehicles, the limit is 18 years. There are some exceptions, however, if you want to drive a normal car and not a truck (for example), these exceptions do not have to concern you 🙂

      Kind regards,

      Anna
