How long does it take to obtain an employee card?

The Ministry of the Interior has a statutory deadline of 60 days to decide on an employee card, or 90 days in particularly complex cases. On top of that, you need to allow time for preparing documents and for submitting the application at the embassy. We will prepare a timeline of the individual steps for you in advance.

What if the Ministry of the Interior rejects the application?

We will file an appeal against the rejection and, if necessary, a lawsuit. We can also help when the proceedings are stuck and the authority does not decide.

Do you work with recruitment agencies?

Yes. We take over the whole process, or we complement your agency with the legal part that agencies usually do not cover.

How much does it cost?

You will receive a list of steps, a timeline and the price in advance. Tell us how many people you need and for which positions at info@stuchlikova.com.
