Czech project to attract foreign specialists to continue

The five-year project designed to attract foreign specialists to work in the Czech Republic that was to be completed in July will continue, Labour and Social Affairs Minister Petr Nečas has said. The project allows educated foreign specialists from 12 countries as well as foreign graduates of Czech secondary schools and universities to settle in the country with their family within a shortened legal deadline. They can obtain a permanent residence permit for two and a half years. Altogether 1,138 people mainly from the Eastern Europe have joined the programme so far and 226 have obtained permanent residence permits.
