Eligibility (fast check)

You’re likely eligible if:

  • Your job is published in the central vacancy registry for Employee Cards
  • Your contract meets minimum hours/salary/duration rules

  • You have required qualifications (if the job demands them)

This route is not a fit if:

  • You don’t have a Czech job offer yet
  • Your position is not in the Employee Card registry
  • Your contract doesn’t meet required standards

FAQ

Can I change employers later?

Yes, but you must follow official notification/approval steps. We guide you through a compliant change when the time comes.

Can I apply from inside CZ?

Sometimes yes (depending on your current status). We confirm whether embassy or MOI filing is correct for you.

Do I need a university degree?

Only if the vacancy requires it. Otherwise, a standard contract + registry vacancy is enough.

What if my embassy has quotas?

Some embassies have appointment quotas. We advise on timing, alternatives, and priority programs if available.
