Legal Counseling

The Association for Integration and Migration (SIMI) offers free help to migrants in the Czech Republic, no matter their residency status. They give personal advice focused on understanding each client's needs. This helps solve legal issues and makes it easier for migrants to adapt and become part of Czech society.
