ARE YOU A FOREIGNER WHO HAS JUST GIVEN BIRTH TO A CHILD?

 

1. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO IN THIS SITUATION? WHAT ELSE CAN HAPPEN?

If a parent does not pay the child support, the other parent can file a suit to the court.

 

2. WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE (2024)?

If you have no insurance or your insurance does not cover childbirth, you have to pay for your own health care during and after the birth.

 

3. AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S HEALTH INSURANCE?

A child born to parents with permanent residence, asylum seekers, applicants for international protection, EU citizens working or doing business in the Czech Republic is covered by public health insurance from birth.

A child born to a long-term resident parent is covered by public health insurance for the duration of the long-term residence permit procedure. However, the application for the child's residence permit must be made within 60 days of the child's birth.

The legal guardian pays the insurance premiums for the child and must report the child to the health insurer of his/her choice within 8 calendar days of birth.
