            If you are a student from EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, you do not need an employment 

            Card or Blue Card to work in the Czech Republic. You can enjoy the same legal status as an
            of Czechia.


            If you are a student coming from a third country, enrolled in a full-time study programme 
            university or language institute accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth, and

            Tax declaration
            It is not true that every foreigner in the Czech Republic must file a tax return. On the c
            people don't have to. Their tax is settled monthly by the employer.


            In case you have one of the following cases, you do not need to file a tax return:
            • one employment contract for the whole year and no other income

            • consecutive employment contracts during the year and no other income
            • one employment contract (or successive contracts) and other income only from Agreements 
              of Work (DPP)

            Where to search for a student job
            Probably the easiest way to find a job is to visit the biggest job portal in the Czech Rep
            [ URL "https://www.jobs.cz/en/"] . One should also keep an eye on the job postings offered

            of the respective faculty. Useful information regarding job opportunities in Prague is als
            the website of Study in Prague [ URL "https://studyinprague.cz/life-in-prague/work/"] and 
            Czech Republic [ URL "https://www.studyin.cz/live-work/work/"] . Further, various expats w

            Facebook groups are another useful source. If needed, our Carolina Centre also offers care
