Government programs for economic migration
As one of ways to support the development of international
business, the Czech Ministry of Trade introduced three types
of so-called government programs for economic migration.
They are divided by the character of work performed by the
employee, salary conditions and country of origin as follows:
Qualified Worker, Highly Qualified Personnel and Key and
Research Staff. Every company must comply with certain
rules and conditions set forth by the Czech government to be
successfully enrolled and benefit from it.
Participation in any of the existing government programs
significantly facilitates the overall process of relocation to the
Czech Republic. Being enrolled into one of the government
programs guarantees that the applicant is granted with the
option of submitting the Visa/Residence Permit application at
Czech consulates and in some cases can significantly shorten
the approval period.
Changes due to Brexit
Since 1 January 2021, the rights and benefits conferred
by European Union legislation, and guaranteed by the
Withdrawal Agreement, no longer apply for U.K. nationals
and their family members, unless their stay in the Czech
Republic commenced before 2021. U.K. nationals and their
family members entering the Czech Republic after the
transition period with no history of previous stay in the
country are treated as third country/territory nationals.
U.K. nationals assigned to work in the Czech Republic even
prior this date were also affected given that they were not
covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. Newly, they are
required to hold a valid Work Permit for the performance of
working activities in the Czech Republic as of January 2021.
