level education, who are working on the positions requiring
university level education and corresponding to their qualification
i.e. education or their practice.
Together with qualified workers, their family members are also

Under the Pilot Project, if participants loose their job through no
fault of their own in the first year, then they are entitled to a 45
days grace period during which they do not loose their visa and
their residence permit is not revoked. During this grace period,
they are expected to search another job in the Czech Republic and in
the course of following year, the participants are again given the
grace period, if they loose their job for other reasons.
For helping the persons interested in relocation to Czech Republic,
a consortium of WWICS, GSBC and a facilitator professional company
in Prague has come into existence. All the three companies together
ensure that the prospective immigrant gets a job offer from the
employer, work visa from Labour Exchange under whose jurisdiction
the employer is located and residence permit from the visa post.

Czech Pilot Project is a unique project, which helps foreign workers
from non-European Union countries to obtain jobs + Permanent

world but only Czech Republic gives right to a foreigner to get
permanent residence permit status in 2 ½ years. The rights of
project participants are also given to his family members. Whats
more, Czech Government encourages a family to come along with a
foreigner and even gives additional points for this. Czech Permanent
Residence Permit Status gives almost same rights to its holders, as
Czech Citizens excepting the right to vote and elected and allows a
foreigner to integrate to Czech society. After getting permanent
residence permit status, a foreigner can enjoy social advantages of
being Czech and get grants in aid, buy property and children gain
