Czech Republic
This content was last updated February 2024.
The Czech Republic provides several solutions to assist employers of foreign non-EU nationals. A different process is when foreign non-EU nationals are seconded to the Czech Republic and when foreign non-EU nationals are employed directly by a Czech entity. Requirements, processing time, employment eligibility and benefits for accompanying family members vary by visa classification and purpose of stay. The immigration process can be lengthy in some cases. As such, applications should be filed sufficiently well in advance.
If a foreign non-EU national is employed but does not have the required valid work permit, Blue Card, Employee Card or Intra-Company Transfer Card, both the employer and the foreign national are subject to administrative penalties.
