Czech Republic: Labor market testing process to be relaxed for employee card applicants

Tschechische Republik: Lockerung des Arbeitsmarkttests für Bewerber um eine Arbeitnehmerkarte

As of July 1, 2024, a labor market test will no longer be required for employee card applicants.

Vacancies will still need to be posted on the government's online platform, but sponsors and applicants will no longer have to wait 10 to 30 days (depending on factors such as the nature of the job and the employee's experience level) before they can proceed to the next stage of the Employee Card application process.

These changes are intended to expedite the hiring of foreign talent and ensure that employers can address potential internal labor shortages more quickly.
