Over 50,000 refugees from Ukraine have already found work in Czechia

Over 50,000 refugees from Ukraine have already started work in the Czech Republic, according to data from the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. 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 have reportedly filled long-term vacancies.

According to the Interior Ministry data, some 345,200 refugees have so far been granted special visas in the Czech Republic. Nearly two fifths of that number are children.
