From the submitted registrations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic will draw the 17 persons based on the quota set by the government for processing applications for the employee card, who will be given a term to apply in person between July to September 2025. Only registrations submitted in accordance with the following rules and deadlines will be admitted to the draw:

1) Registration will be held on the following days and times:

20.05.2025 09:00

2) The applicant or their representative, on the bases of a power of attorney (translated into English or Russian), must appear in person at the Embassy in Tbilisi. 
Please be advised that the number of raffle registration participant an authorized agent/representative (based on a power of attorney) is permitted to register for the purpose of submitting an employee card application is strictly limited to one(1) participant.

3) The applicant shall submit his/her passport and his/her identity document. In addition to the data page of the applicant's passport, the authorized person shall submit a power of attorney in Czech (or, if in a foreign language, with a Russian or English translation) and their identity document. With immediate effect, a document confirming the purpose of stay, i.e. an employment contract, is required to register for the draw. Please note that if they are successful in the draw, applicants must provide the same employment contract as when registering when applying for an employee card.

4) The applicant pays an administrative fee of 1000,- CZK (in cash in EUR at the current exchange rate or by credit card). The fee is non-refundable.

5) Upon payment of the fee, the applicant will be issued a control coupon (confirmation of payment of the administrative fee) bearing a serial number, along with instructions for checking the status of the draw. This coupon will serve as the subject of the draw.
Payment of the fee does not give rise to the right to be assigned a date for submitting an application for an employee card.

6) Registrants will not be directly informed about the outcome of the draw (by phone, email or otherwise). Information on whether a particular voucher has been drawn and the specific date of the in-person application will only be published on the Embassy's Tbilisi website no later than 20.06.2025. The Embassy will also publish the numbers of the control vouchers that have not been drawn on the same date.

7) If the successful candidate fails to appear at the published term, the term will be lost.

We would like to highlight that the registration to apply for an employee card taking place 20.05.2025 does not guarantee that the applicant will be granted a term to apply for an employee card. It is only a registration of applicants for the allocation of a date, from which 17 applicants will be randomly drawn, who will then be informed via the Embassy's website about the date set for the submission of the application for the Employee Card itself.

It is further to be noted that even in case of submitting of an employee card application, there is no guarantee that the employee card is going to be granted. The decision process related to the employee card applications falls in its entirety into the competence of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic and there is no legal claim on obtaining an employee card.

The above described appointment system has been adopted in accordance with the Art. 169f of the Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on the Residence of Foreign Nationals in the Territory of the Czech Republic and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic (judgement No. 10 Azs 153/2016).
