Getting a long term residence permit has a lot of advantages! (source)
- For the Purpose of Studies
This one is self-explanatory. If you are planning to stay in the Czech Republic for longer than 3 months while studying here, this type of visa is precisely made for you. - For the Purpose of Scientific Research
Just like in the case of the long-term residence permit for the purpose of studies, this type of residence permit is suitable for you if you intend to stay in the Czech Republic for longer than 3 months. Whether your research concerns itself with IT or biology, it doesn’t matter. However, you need to have a signed contract with the organization where you perform the research. - For the Purpose of Seeking Employment
The following three groups may be slightly confusing because their purpose is pretty similar – business and employment. Are you a foreign national that has been studying in the Czech Republic (with a long-term residence permit for the purpose of studies), you have successfully completed your studies and you are wondering, what to do now? Have you completed your research (with a long-term residence permit for the purpose of scientific research) and you would like to start working in the Czech Republic? This type of permit is designated specifically for you! - For the Purpose of Employment
This category of a residence permit has actually transformed into a document called “employee card,” therefore you cannot file for this type of long-term residence permit anymore but you file for an employee card, which is also a type of a long-term residence permit. The main purpose of getting it is to have a working contract in the country.
Previous long-term residence permits are necessary to get the “seeking employment” one. (source)
- For the Purpose of Business
Are you a foreign national who wants to start a business in the Czech Republic? This is the type of residence permit that you should choose. - For the Purpose of Family Reunification
Do you have a spouse or a child in the Czech Republic? Whether they have been born here or they are in possession of a long-term residence permit, you have the right to file for this type of residence permit. - For the Purpose of Investment
If you are a business-person and are coming to the Czech Republic with the intention to make an investment here, you should pick this particular type of residence permit.

Hi there
I have a temporary residence card/long term residence permit as I study in the czech republic. However due to family crisis,I had to return to Nepal now the point is I wish to return to czech republic to continue my studies.
