My first steps after arrival in Brno

 AFTER MY ARRIVAL, MY FIRST STEPS SHOULD LEAD TO ...


01

Registration at the Foreign police department, or in special cases to the Ministry of the Interior, Department of Asylum and Migration Policy within 3 - 30 working days depends on if you come from the EU or not.

02

Make sure you are registered for health insurance which is an essential step for gaining a visa. Health insurance is either commercial or state. if you have a full working contract you are automatically insured by your employer.

03

Be aware of the type of residence (visa-free relations, short-term visa, long-term visa, long-term residence permit or permanent residence) and do not forget to renew the validity of your visa or residence permit for the Czech Republic in time! Introduction to the individual types of residence you can find here: www.migrace.com/bx/en/1/2.

04

Within one year of arrival in the country you are supposed to complete an integration course (for some nationalities it's even obligatory!) www.vitejtevcr.cz/en/about-courses/. It's free of charge.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STAY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC YOU CAN FIND ON OFFICIAL SITES:

Ministry of the Interior (MOI) - current information about the permanent residence, visas, obligations of foreigners, etc. www.mvcr.cz/docDetail.aspx? docid=21667282&doctype=ART Be aware that MOI Office doesn't send emails neither you can contact them by email. But they still use the classic approach, The post office. So the link below can help you to check if any letter has been issued for you. In this way, you won't miss any letter being issued: www.mvcr.cz/verejne-vyhlasky-oamp. Information about integration of foreigners in the Czech Republic www.imigracniportal.cz/. Public Administration Portal of the Czech Republic portal.gov.cz/en. General information for foreigners living in the Czech Republic www.cizinci.cz/web/en/basic-information.

But all the rules you should know at the beginning, also including useful links dedicated to Brno, are assumed in these brochures published by the municipality of Brno and Brno expat center... Yes, Brno takes care :)

Then comes another issue you need to solve and we believe this website could be very helpful for you: www.brnoid.cz/en/. It will help you with online payment and booking for various services provided in Brno. Such as Transportation Pass, Waste Tax, but also Brno Dam Boat Booking, etc.

How was the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz?

On Saturday, January 23, we organized the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz, Covid edition. We used our experience from the last two online events and prepared a Kahoot quiz with some additional activities called a "Jošta game" The Kahoot quiz was divided into 11 categories such as Festivals in the world, Brno sculpture, Czech companies, Volunteering or for example Erasmus+. During the whole game, the Participants had to be aware of the world Jošta and be prepared for the next additional activity. We had also a nice interesting discussion after the game. :) And who were our participants? Foreign volunteers, workers, and students who are new to Brno. We arranged the meeting in the Zoom application. Thanks to everyone who participated. Did you miss the online Pub quiz? Never mind, we are planning to organize this type of event also offline in the pub when the pandemic situation will be better. We are looking forward to meeting you live this time! 🙂
