Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Czech employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Czech permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Our Czech market is handled locally by our EU delivery entity, Orienta Czech. The dedicated Czech site covers the complete national process — Employee Card, the Qualified Employee Programme, references from Czech plants — with Czech-language support.
The Czech Republic is the group's reference market — more than 900 Filipinos placed by Orienta Czech in 2025, the Philippine labour office and the immigration authorities in the same city, and a government programme with a hard number: 10,300 places a year, 858 a month, exhausted within hours in the second half of 2026. These guides are the English counterpart of filipincidofirem.cz for foreign-owned plants, group headquarters and tender evaluators: the Qualified Employee Programme and the quota, the Employee Card, the realistic timeline, metal, production, logistics, construction, food and care roles, the Philippine side through MWO Prague, the statistics and the aftercare — each linked to its Czech-language original.
Every Czech project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Czech permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Czech specifics below are the part that makes Czech Republic different from every other market we serve.
Employee Card (zaměstnanecká karta) through the Government's Qualified Employee Programme (Program kvalifikovaný zaměstnanec). The Employee Card combines residence and work in one permit, valid for the length of the employment up to two years and renewable. A Filipino candidate reaches the Czech Embassy in Manila through the Government's Qualified Employee Programme, run by the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of Industry, CzechInvest and the Agrarian Chamber as garants: the programme guarantees the appointment within the Philippine annual quota — 10,300 places under Government Regulation 109/2026 Coll., released as 858 a month and assigned to named workers — but does not shorten the Ministry of the Interior's 60-day decision (90 in complex cases) or replace the 30-day labour-market test. In July, August and September 2026 the monthly Philippine capacity was exhausted within hours of release; on 15 October 2026 the Government announced the quota will be raised, without a published regulation yet. Wages must be at least 1.22 times the minimum wage — CZK 27,328 gross a month in 2026, CZK 30,378 from 1 January 2027 — and not lower than comparable employees. The Czech Republic is the group's reference market: the EU delivery entity Orienta Czech holds its Ministry of Labour licence here, the Philippine Embassy's Migrant Workers Office sits in the same city as the immigration authorities, and more than 900 Filipinos were placed by Orienta Czech in 2025 — nearly a fifth of the programme's Philippine intake. The client is always the employer; Orienta Czech administers under power of attorney.
Labour-market test: Vacancies must be reported to the Labour Office's central register and published for 30 days (the office may shorten it to 10) before a third-country national can fill them; the wage must match comparable positions.
Shortage occupations: No shortage list; the programme's monthly quota release is the effective gate — 858 Philippine places a month, exhausted in July, August and September 2026. Demand is strongest in automotive and manufacturing, logistics, construction, food production and care.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). MWO Prague (Philippine Embassy in Prague) verifies employers and contracts for the Czech Republic (jurisdiction: Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine — DMW Directory of Migrant Workers Offices and Jurisdiction, 01 September 2026); the MWO sits in the same city as the Ministry of the Interior that decides the Employee Card; we run this step routinely. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Czech permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Czech Republic is 3–5 months from order to start; first arrivals typically within 120 days from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the monthly quota release (858 places, taken within hours in the second half of 2026), the Ministry of the Interior's 60–90 days, and an underpaid vacancy or missing programme documents. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Czech employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Czech Republic covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Czech route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Czech contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Czech employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the employee card under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Because the group's EU delivery entity, Orienta Czech, holds its Ministry of Labour licence here, the largest client references are here, and more than 900 Filipinos were placed by Orienta Czech in 2025 — nearly a fifth of the national programme's Philippine intake.
Yes — filipincidofirem.cz covers the national process in full detail in Czech; every English guide here links its Czech counterpart.
10,300 places a year under Government Regulation 109/2026 Coll., released as 858 a month; in July, August and September 2026 the monthly capacity was exhausted within hours. The Government announced on 15 October 2026 that it will raise the quota; no regulation had been published at the time of review.
From one. The programme scales from a single specialist to whole shifts, planned in cohorts on the monthly quota releases.
At least 1.22 times the minimum wage — CZK 27,328 gross a month in 2026, CZK 30,378 from 1 January 2027 — and never less than comparable employees doing the same work.
Your company, always, with a standard Czech employment contract. Orienta Czech recruits and administers under your power of attorney; Prime Search recruits in Manila; neither employs the workers.
