Home / Destinations / Czechia
Your Czechia career starts with a genuine offer — and an honest wait.
The Employee Card is a real work-and-residence permit. The bottleneck: New Delhi's capped 1,560 embassy appointments a year — we check that first.

Does the Czechia route fit you?
Who Czechia is hiring
Healthcare
Genuine demand across regulated and unregulated roles.
Roles: nurses, technicians, allied health. The gate: nostrification of qualifications before licensing.
IT & professional services
Skilled tech roles are in strong demand.
Roles: software, engineering, analysts. The gate: the Highly Qualified Worker Programme threshold.
Manufacturing, construction & logistics
Czechia's core industrial base, hiring under the 2025 policy shift.
Roles: automotive, site roles, supply chain. The gate: a registered vacancy on the central register.

Figures are as of mid-2026 — the Delhi embassy's cap of 1,560 Employee Card applications/year overrides every row above, and anyone selling a "guaranteed slot" is committing fraud.

Compare Czechia RoutesVacancy to residence in five stages
Registered vacancy & offer
A Czech employer offers a role on the central vacancy register — we verify the employer's identity and vacancy reference against official registers before you proceed.
Programme & appointment wait
The real bottleneck: 1,560 Delhi slots a year, allocated by the consulate itself — treat any "guaranteed slot" offer outside this process as fraud.
Documents & nostrification
Passport, contract, qualification proof, translations, and — for regulated professions — nostrification; we confirm the exact list before filing.
Embassy filing & decision
The statutory decision takes ~60 days (extendable to ~90), but that excludes the quota/appointment wait, so the honest total is often several months or longer.
Arrival & biometrics
Post-arrival biometrics and registration finalise residence status, and we stay in contact rather than handing you off once the card is issued.

Delhi quota
Why is the wait so long?
The New Delhi quota — since July 2025, the embassy has capped Employee Card applications at 1,560/year across two programmes, so appointment availability, not eligibility, is usually the limiting factor.
Slot scams
Can I get a guaranteed appointment slot faster?
No — anyone selling a guaranteed Delhi appointment outside the embassy's own allocation process is committing fraud. We verify your enrolment and give honest wait-time guidance, but cannot buy or guarantee a slot.
Timeline
How long does it really take?
The statutory decision is 60 days, extendable to ~90 — but that excludes the quota and appointment wait. Budget several months, often longer.
Family reunification
Can my family come with me?
Potentially, later, once your Employee Card status is established — family reunification has its own criteria, assessed per case.
