Economic migration programs implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Trade

The current anti-pandemic restrictions on travel to the Czech Republic have a negative impact on a number of Czech business entities for which the employment of qualified foreigners from third countries is a necessity. Similarly, due to travel restrictions, the possibilities of Czech entrepreneurs to conduct important business negotiations with partners from third countries or to complete already contracted deliveries of goods and services are limited.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Trade support Czech entrepreneurs wanting to employ qualified foreigners and conducting business negotiations with foreign partners by implementing economic migration programs. At present, in accordance with the current protective measure of the Ministry of Health, it is possible to submit an application for long-term residence outside economic migration programs, but the situation may change in connection with the development of the pandemic situation.
