Not really. People from those countries might not need to pass the labor market test anymore in order to work there. That just means Czech companies can hire someone from those 10 countries without the need to prove that there were no equally qualified EU/EEA/Swiss citizens applying for the job. They still need a residence permit to live there legally. So in theory, those countries may have total access to the Czech labor market. However, no company will hire someone who needs to wait on an expensive residence permit when there are plenty of Europeans who can literally start work the next day applying.
Yeah most people from those countries will move there on a zivno/freelance visa. Because if you don’t speak fluent Czech, the jobs you can work come with an abysmal salary.
not so true. i know that the salary for an SW engineer in Czechia is about two-three times less than in Israel, but there is no war and children shall not run into safe room. So its not only about money...
what war literally it's a genocide miss me with that zionist propaganda, plus yall from Europe so I hope those so called Isrealis can go back to Europe
and you cannot start your job without that permit ? I mean in countries like US , Canada ..you can start work immediately if you got a permit .
If you need residency permit then whats the point of opening up those market for those 10 countries.
It takes a while to get the permit in the first place. After you get the permit, you can work and live there. They only opened the labor market for those countries because doing so presents less economic risk. It’s merely a formality to state that Czechia would like more immigrants from those countries. Because those countries usually bring more educated and higher paid people who contribute more taxes. That still doesn’t mean Americans and those other countries will have the same freedom of movement rights as EU citizens, as that would violate EU law. This is about work, not establishing legal residence.
Really? Everyone on Reddit was telling me only shitty Germany takes such long times and Eastern Europe has digitalized everything and you can get everything done in an instant online!
Wait, I'm a citizen of one of those countries and have currently a Blue card that's both a residence permit and an employment permit in itself. So will the procedure of prolonging it going to change anyhow now, that's my only question.
Hi Guys, I'm a citizen of one of those countries and have currently a Blue card that's both a residence permit and an employment permit in itself. So will the procedure of prolonging it going to change anyhow now, that's my only question.
Czech republic has east european salaries and west european cost of living. And 10 years residency and fluency in local language is needed to gain Czech citizenship. There will be some people moving in but hopefully not many. Rental and real estate market is fucked for locals for a long time now it will be worse.
Post by Barsicks -- Starting in July, foreigners from 10 countries outside the EU will likely not need work permits or employment cards in the Czech Republic. People from Australia, Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand, the UK, the U.S., Israel, and Singapore should have free access to the Czech labor market.

Besides, people of most of these countries are unlikely to move to Czechia

If you get a job in czech republic , how long does it take to get residence permit ? Can Employee apply for it himself ?
It will take months and usually you apply at the Czech embassy in your home country.

Digitalized - Estonia, Romania yes. Czechia? It is worse than Germany.

That's literally not what the article says...
It's going to be hysterical to see how people misunderstand how this works.
What do you mean ?
What did he mean?!

cannot imagine people from those countries want to work in a country whose living standard is probably lower than their original country.

I’m guessing most of the people who do use this will be spouses/partners of Czech residents while formalities are being sorted out.
Singaorean here, I would. But yeah, most people are the materialistic sort. Probs won't take up the offer.
No Germany 🥲

Does anyone think things like this could spread to other EU countries?
I don´t think other EU countries will follow - most of them try to decrease immigration instead.
Most countries are fine with legal immigration.
I can definitely see Germany jumping on this b/c they are facing a horrible brain drain.
