How can a skilled worker move to the Czechia for a job?

For a skilled worker with a Czech job offer, the default route is the Employee Card. It combines work and residence in one document, has no salary minimum and covers all qualification levels, requiring a passport, an employment contract or letter of intent at or above the minimum wage for at least 15 hours a week, a vacancy reference number for the dual mode, proof of accommodation, and a criminal-record certificate when applying from abroad.

If you hold a university-level degree and your salary reaches at least 1.5 times the Czech average wage, the EU Blue Card is an alternative that adds wider EU mobility. On top of either permit, your employer may be able to use a government economic-migration programme to gain a guaranteed embassy slot, simplified documents and — for key staff — a visa decision within 30 days. Staff transferred within a multinational instead use the ICT Card.

Salary thresholds, fees and timelines change (the Blue Card figure is updated annually), so confirm the current rules on ipc.gov.cz. ACME regularly supports both employers and incoming staff and can identify which work route best fits your offer.
