Czech Visa & Residence Permit Status Tracker

Track your Czech visa or residence-permit application automatically — and get notified only when the status actually changes.

If you've filed an application with the Czech Ministry of the Interior (MVČR), you know the ritual: open ipc.gov.cz, type the same reference number, squint at the alert box, come back tomorrow, repeat. For an immigration consultant with a full caseload, it's that same anxious check across dozens of clients. This Actor does it for you — give it your reference numbers and it drives the official portal, reads the exact status, and remembers it, so it pings you only when something actually moves (Slack, email, anywhere). No more daily refreshing.

Who is this for?

• Immigration & visa-services consultants — track every client's application from one place and get alerted the moment any case changes, instead of checking the portal one reference at a time.
• Individuals tracking their own application — add your reference number once and get notified directly when your status changes, without checking every day.

How to set it up

Two fields, that's it:

1. Reference numbers — one per line: OAM-12345/DP-2025, with a suffix OAM-67890-1/ZM-2024, or a 16-character ŽOV number like MINS202501010001.
2. Emit mode — Changes only (default) emits a result only when a status appears, changes, or disappears (ideal for scheduled monitoring); Always returns the current status for every reference, every run (ideal for on-demand lookups).

Hit Save & Start. To check automatically, save it as a Task and attach a daily Schedule.

Get notified only on changes

Each check is written to a dataset. Connect any Apify integration — Slack, Gmail, or a webhook — and, paired with Changes only, you're alerted on real transitions and nothing else.

Want a clean, formatted alert instead of raw data? By default the Apify → Slack integration forwards the entire dataset item — every field and link. We've published a Make scenario that turns it into a short message like "Status changed to: A decision has been issued". Copy it and reconnect three modules with your own accounts:

➡️ Open the Make scenario »

1. Open the shared link and add the scenario to your Make account.
2. Reconnect the 3 flagged modules:
   • Apify – Watch Actor Runs (trigger) → your Apify API token; select inovaflow/mvcr-tracker as the watched Actor (webhook auto-creates).
   • Apify – Get Dataset Items → same connection.
   • Slack → your workspace, then the channel or DM for alerts.
3. Save and toggle the scenario ON.

Input & output

{
    "referenceNumbers": ["OAM-12345/DP-2025", "OAM-67890-1/ZM-2024", "MINS202501010001"],
    "emitMode": "changes_only"
}

Each reference returns one dataset item:

{
    "referenceNumber": "OAM-12345/DP-2025",
    "event": "changed",
    "alertKind": "success",
    "uiMessage": "A decision has been issued in your case.",
    "uiMessageFull": "A decision has been issued in your case.\nPlease visit the Ministry office to collect your documents.",
    "currentState": { "exists": true, "state": "DECISION_ISSUED", "...": "..." },
    "previousState": { "exists": true, "state": "IN_PROGRESS" },
    "checkedAt": "2026-04-20T10:15:00.000Z"
}

event is one of appeared, changed, disappeared, no_change, invalid_format, or error. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
