Working Holiday Visa in Czech Republic

The Verdict: Not eligible

Czechia has working holiday agreements with only nine countries and yours is not one, so this visa is closed to you. Look at the employee card, a business permit or a student permit instead.

The nine are Chile, Peru, Israel, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Taiwan. It is a treaty benefit with no discretionary admission.

The employee card covers work at any skill level with an offer and a vacancy your employer registers. A business permit needs a Czech trade licence instead. A student permit allows work alongside study and leads to a permit for seeking work afterwards. All count towards permanent residence after five years.

If a parent or grandparent was a Czech or Czechoslovak citizen, our Citizenship by Descent quiz may give you a much shorter answer.
