As of 1 July 2010, modified instructions apply for the organisation of examinations in the Czech language for permanent residence in the CR. The format of the examination has been significantly innovated.
An alien still has a right to one examination free of charge, namely after submitting a Voucher issued by the Ministry of the Interior. An alien may register for an examination in any of the schools in the List of Schools. The dates of the examination have been set centrally by the Ministry of Education. The examination can be taken on the entire territory of the Czech Republic every Wednesday and every second Saturday of the month. The currently valid dates can be found directly at a specific school.
If the alien passes the examination, he/she obtains a Certificate of Knowledge of the Czech Language. In the case of failure, the applicant obtains NEWLY Confirmation of Having Failed the Examination, which he/she is obliged to submit at another attempt to pass the examination.

As of 1st July 2009, four regional Foreign Nationals Integration Support Centres, operated by the Refugee Facility Administration of the Ministry of Interior, based in Ostrava, Pardubice, Pilsen and in Zlín, began functioning. These centres, which are co-financed from the European Integration Fund, aim to create opportunities for the long-term and conceptual cooperation of the relevant entities in the field of the integration of foreign nationals from so-called third countries who have long-term or permanent residence on the territory of the Czech Republic. In every region, especially the regional and district authorities, the alien police, the state and municipal police, labour offices, financial offices, trade licence offices and other entities are thus addressed with an offer of cooperation.
