Foreigners will be required to have sufficient health insurance and their residency permits will have to have biometric information, such as fingerprints. Also, foreigners facing deportation will be able to request an asylum hearing. To find out more about the new bill and what it will mean for foreigners in the Czech Republic, Radio Prague spoke to Lucie Sládková who heads the International Organisation for Migration. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/prace02.jpg?timestamp=1591476146 https://english.radio.cz/lower-house-passes-wide-ranging-amendment-law-foreigners-8568558 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
