Taiwanese Nationals No Longer Need a Work Permit to Work in Czechia

Key Points:

  1. Czechia has officially removed the work permit requirement for Taiwanese nationals.
  2. This move aims to attract more foreign professionals to the Czech labor market.
  3. Similar exemptions already apply to nationals of nine other countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, and Japan.

The Czech government has announced that Taiwanese citizens no longer need to obtain a work permit to be employed in the country. This decision makes Taiwan the tenth nation to benefit from this policy, joining Australia, Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand, Britain, the USA, Israel, and Singapore.

Authorities have confirmed that these changes will take effect in the coming months, streamlining employment processes for Taiwanese workers and reducing bureaucratic burdens for their employers.

"By lifting the work permit requirement for Taiwanese job seekers, we are easing administrative procedures and accelerating their entry into the labor market. Our focus remains on attracting highly skilled professionals to support economic growth."
— Czech Ministry of Labor

New Measures to Support Foreign Employment in Czechia

This latest regulation aligns with the government’s broader strategy to facilitate the hiring of skilled foreign workers. According to the Czech Ministry of Labor, 185 Taiwanese nationals—80 men and 105 women—were employed in the country last year.

A similar proposal was introduced last year, but at that time, Taiwan was not officially recognized as an independent jurisdiction. Now, the Czech government has moved forward with the exemption, further strengthening economic ties with Taiwan.

Visa and Work Trends

Statistics show that Schengen countries received 1,255 short-term visa applications from Taiwanese applicants, with an approval rate of nearly 93%. France and Germany were the top destinations, receiving 359 and 279 applications, respectively, while Czechia processed 59 applications.

With this new regulation, Czechia aims to position itself as an attractive destination for foreign professionals, improving its labor market dynamics and reinforcing international partnerships.
