What are the real differences between temporary vs permanent citizenship in Czech? I am a non-Czech spouse of a Czech citizen and already have my temporary citizenship. I'm curious if it's even worth the trouble, and/or what additional rights it gives me.

Thanks

The biggest difference is that permanent residency gives you all the legal rights of a Czech except voting in national elections.

If you're married to a Czech, you're likely eligible for permanent residency on that basis alone. There's really no reason not to go for it if your settled here. It will make the bureaucratic end of life simpler.

I wrote a bit about the various levels of residency on my blog not long ago, perhaps you'll find it and the sites I've linked to there of use:

I hope it helps
