Close to 36,000 refugees from Ukraine have already found work in Czechia

Close to 36,000 refugees from Ukraine have already started work in the Czech Republic, according to data from the Czech Labour Office. The humanitarian year-long visas refugees receive guarantee them the same status on the labour market as Czech citizens or permanent residents. Most of them are reportedly looking for short-term jobs because they hope to be able to return home soon. According to the Interior Ministry, 332,347 refugees have so far been granted special visas in the Czech Republic.
