Residence Permits/Visa Requirements/Fees

To enter the Czech Republic, you must have a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport and be aware that it has only recently joined the Schengen Agreement for border controls.

As an EU national you do not need a work permit to work in the Czech Republic. However it is always best to be prepared, and have employment set up before you go.
