Czech Republic employee card

Employee cards for foreigners in the Czech Republic

An employee card issued by the Czech Republic is a long-term residence permit for employment in the Czech Republic. A foreigner who has an employee card is entitled to:

reside in the Czech Republic and

work in a job for which the employee card was issued

The employment card, therefore, combines both the residence and work permits.

The issuance of an employee card is conditional on an employment contract, contract for work, or a letter of intent stipulating the parties’ commitment to conclude an employment contract or a contract for work within the specified date, which contains a provision stipulating that the foreigner’s monthly wage, salary or remuneration will not be lower than the basic rate of the monthly minimum wage regardless of the extent of work and the weekly working hours will be at least 15 hours.
