Stricter norms for foreign entrepeneurs

The Interior Ministry has proposed a bill tightening the conditions for business activities of foreigners in the Czech Republic to the cabinet. For example a condition required for the issuing of an entrepreneur visa would be a controlling interview in Czech with consular officers or at least two years of stay in the Czech Republic. The change is supposed to come into force as of December 2010. Its objective is to eliminate the cases when foreigners, who were issued a residence permit in order to run business activity, did not carry out such activity factually.  Source LN 5
