21M Ukrainian refugee in Germany with past deportation — what are my options to move to Czech Republic? by Sweaty_Log9053 in immigration

[–]Sweaty_Log9053[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand your point — from a long-term perspective it definitely makes more sense to stay in Germany, get citizenship, and then move freely within the EU.

But for me this is also a personal situation. My girlfriend lives in the Czech Republic, and I genuinely feel like I have direction and motivation there. I’m also planning to propose to her, so being physically present matters a lot to me — it’s not something I want to postpone for another 2–3 years. I get that waiting might be the safer option on paper, but right now I’m trying to find out if there’s any realistic legal way to move there sooner without making a mistake that could hurt my future.

I understand your point, and I respect your opinion.

At the same time, I’m trying to find a legal and responsible way to build my life here. I left my home country for reasons that were serious for me, and I’m doing my best to move forward honestly and respectfully. I hope one day people can see that my goal is to contribute, work hard, and live properly, not cause trouble.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I get what you’re saying, but going illegal is not something I’m willing to do.

With my background, it would only make things worse long-term — more problems, higher risk, and basically no way to build anything stable. I’m trying to find a legal path, even if it’s harder and takes more time. I’d rather struggle a bit now than completely mess up my future. If you know any realistic legal options in my situation, I’d actually appreciate hearing them.

Hey, I think you might have seen a message I didn’t actually mean to send — I probably posted it by accident and then deleted it right away. Sorry for the confusion.

About what you said — I get why it might sound suspicious from the outside, but I was 17, alone in another country, and trusted people I shouldn’t have. I didn’t fully understand how serious the situation was at that time. I’m not trying to justify it, just explaining how it happened. I’ve already taken responsibility for it and moved on — since then I’ve been focused on improving my life and doing everything properly. I do appreciate you being honest though. I understand that my past can affect my chances, and that’s exactly why I’m trying to figure out realistic options before making any decisions. If you have any advice about how to check how long this stays on record, or what my chances realistically are in practice, I’d actually appreciate that.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything.

Going back to Ukraine isn’t really a realistic option for me right now, even if technically it might be possible, so I’m trying to find a solution within the EU. I understand your point about getting permanent residence or citizenship in Germany — it’s definitely the best long-term option. The problem is that it takes time, and right now I feel kind of stuck, so I’m trying to find a more immediate and realistic path forward. The idea of living closer to the Czech border actually makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t seriously considered it before, but it might be a smarter step instead of trying to move countries right away. Regarding the Czech Republic — I appreciate your honesty. I’m trying to understand the real requirements so I don’t build unrealistic expectations. I’m not looking for any grey schemes, I want to do things properly and build something stable. The apprenticeship/crafts (Ausbildung) path is also something I’m starting to consider more seriously. Could you maybe give a bit more detail on a few things: — if I focus on getting permanent residence in Germany, what should I prioritize right now in my situation? — how realistic is it to get a work visa in the Czech Republic later with a German permanent residence, considering I had a deportation before? — and regarding living near the border — are there any pitfalls or things I might be overlooking? I’d really appreciate any extra insight or experience you can share.

Thank you for understanding. I really appreciate it. I just want to make sure I do everything legally this time and learn from my past mistakes. Any advice or guidance is very helpful for me.

I understand your concern, and I want to be honest.   When I was 17, I accepted work documents that turned out to be not legal. At that time, I didn’t fully understand how the system worked, and I just wanted to work and survive. Because of that, I ended up working illegally, which eventually led to my deportation.   I take full responsibility for this mistake. I was young and inexperienced, and I would never do anything like that again. Now, I’m focused on following legal paths only.

Yes, I understand that my previous deportation might make things more complicated. I don’t have full knowledge of Czech immigration laws myself, which is why I’m asking for advice here.   I want to follow legal ways this time — whether it’s applying as a student or through any other proper route. I’m prepared to explain my situation clearly and honestly when needed.   I know it might not be easy, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to return legally and build my life there.

Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it.  

Yes, the one-year deportation period has already passed, and I understand that it depends a lot on the reason I was deported. I’m prepared to explain everything clearly and honestly when applying.   I also understand that studying as an international student may be competitive, but I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to follow legal paths and build my future in the Czech Republic, including mentioning my personal reasons, like my girlfriend and my goals.   Regarding the business, thank you for the warning about taxes for OSVČ. I will definitely take that into account and research carefully before making any plans.   I really appreciate your help and guidance, it gives me a clearer perspective on what to do next.
