Legal working conditions for foreign students
Students from the Eurozone who are seeking to work in the Czech Republic can apply for a job without the need for a work permit. International students are allowed to work in the Czech Republic while they study – both on and off-campus. Nevertheless, as students from non-EU countries study upon long-term residence permit for the purposes of study, studying is the primary purpose of the stay. Thus, they are obliged to fulfil their scholar requirement first in order to work.
International students graduating from the Czech Technical University in Prague have no restrictions in obtaining a work permit in the Czech Republic. However, for those who are considering getting a full time job after graduating, we strongly advise you to start looking for a job before finishing university.
