The Czech Republic is not only a quality weekend, but also an opportunity to earn money.
The Czech Republic is a truly magical and cozy country that harmoniously combines clear lakes, well-maintained forests, ancient architecture with many breweries and villages that smell of freshly baked bread. Many Belarusians include the Czech Republic in their list of desired travel destinations. But it's important to know that in the Czech Republic, you can not only spend your vacation, but also work legally.
Every day, the "hotline" of the Public Association "Club of Business Women" for safe departure and stay abroad and combating human trafficking receives calls from people who want to find employment outside Belarus 8-801-201-5555 and 113. The Czech Republic is included in the list of the most popular countries.
To work legally in the Czech Republic, you need a work permit and a visa corresponding to the purpose of departure, issued by the diplomatic mission or consulate of the Czech Republic in the Republic of Belarus.
Hotline staff have been noting more and more often lately that Belarusians are being deceived by being told that they can work in the Czech Republic with a Polish work visa. This is not true. Everyone knows that it is much easier and faster to get a Polish visa. That's why some people get a work visa for work in Poland, cross the border, and go to the Czech Republic with that visa in search of work for a longer period than with a Czech Schengen (short-term) visa for the purpose of work, which is issued for up to 90 days.
With a Polish work visa, Belarusians can stay in the Czech Republic for no more than 90 days and only for tourism purposes, but not to work! What awaits illegal immigrants caught in the Czech Republic? Of course, immediate deportation from the country. A ban on entry into the territory of the European Union for a certain period of time (from one to five years). As well as a fine for illegal work in the amount of 1,000 euros or more. By agreeing to work illegally in the Czech Republic without an employment contract, you are signing up for more than just the risk of being deported from the country and fined. An illegal worker is easier to fire, cut his salary or not pay at all; an illegal cannot count on vacation, medical care, accident insurance, and much more.
Large fines also threaten the employer who illegally hires foreigners. He also bears the costs of deporting the foreigner.
After working in the Czech Republic on a Schengen (short-term) visa for the purpose of work, it is necessary to return to Belarus and, if you wish to re-apply for longer-term employment, apply for a long-term visa.
You can find a list of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in Belarus that assist with employment, including in the Czech Republic, on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus.
A long-term visa issued for employment is also issued at the diplomatic mission or consulate based on a package of documents, which includes a work permit.
The application for a long-term visa is considered within 90-120 days, depending on the complexity of the situation.
In order to extend the stay under a long-term visa in the future, foreigners working and staying in the territory of the Czech Republic submit an application to the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs authorized for aliens. The same documents are attached to the application as in the case of the first application for a long-term visa.
