pekne si to napsala I love Brno as well and I have similar challenges in the Netherlands *proud to be Czech*
1300 eur bruto is geen verkeerd salaris. Gemiddeld salaris in CZ is +/- 23.000 czk bruto en slechts 20% van de beroepsbevolking heeft dit salaris. Reel gemiddeld salaris ligt rond de 20.000 czk bruto. Met 23.000 czk kun je best rondkomen. Als je met iemand in een flat woont, ben je idd rond de 6.000 czk kwijt. Mocht je ook nog etensbonnen krijgen, is het middageten dus geregeld en denk ik dat je met die 17.000 czk best goed rond kunt komen. Wat betreft discriminatie, ach, dat zie je overal. Het is ook nog eens zo dat de extreem rechtse mensen hier net even wat anders zijn, want ook al ben je blank, je bent een buitenlander. Ik zelf ben een klassieke arier, blond en blauwe ogen en ook ik heb wel eens, met een Engelse vriend problemen gehad met extremisten in het centrum van Brno. Gewoon niet reageren en lekker de andere kant op lopen. In het centrum is het best te doen, niet naar de verkeerde buurten gaan (maar dat is in Rotterdam of Amsterdam precies hetzelfde). Tsjechie als land bevalt mij persoonlijk prima. Elk land heeft zo zijn voor -en nadelen, maar het mooiste vind ik nog wel dat het leven niet zo gejaagd is als in Nederland. Ik zou zeggen, GO for it! Vind je het niks, is Nederland maar uurtje vliegen......

Employment of Foreign Nationals in the Czech Republic
A foreign national is according to the Czech law, Act No. 435/2004 Coll., an individual, who is not a national of the Czech Republic, European Union, European Economic Area or Switzerland or a member of his/her family. An individual without any nationality is considered as a foreign national as well. The question is, what is the procedure of acquiring an employment for foreign nationals intending to arrive to the Czech Republic in order to work.
A foreign national can be employed only if he/she has:
(a) Regular work permit
(i) Valid work permit and
(ii) Valid short-term visa (until 90 days) or long-term visa (over 90 days) or long-term residence permit issued for the purpose of employment
(b) Green card
(c) Blue card
REGULAR WORK PERMIT
(i) A foreign national must first apply in writing to the Labor Office in the Czech Republic in order to acquire the work permit, generally before his/her arrival. He/she can do so oneself or via the employer, by whom he/she will be eventually employed or to whom he/she will be sent by home employer. The work permit can be issued by the Office only under the condition, that there is a vacant work position, which means that in respect of the qualification required or the temporary shortage in workforce, cannot be occupied by a Czech person. The application must include identification information regarding the employee and the employer, category of the employment, the place of work and a term, for which the employment should last. As the appendices be provided a statement of the employer that he will employ the employee, documentation certifying the employee´s professional qualification required for the employment or other documentation if required should. The Office issues the permit for maximum of 2 years, which can be repeatedly prolonged, but always for maximum of 2 years. Administrative fee is 500,-Kč for application. This permit is not necessary for individuals with granted asylum or with permanent residence in the Czech Republic.
(ii) Short-term work visa can be granted by Czech embassy upon an application for maximum period of 90 days, which can be used within 180 days. The visa must be for the purpose of employment and the application must be submitted, beside general requirements, with work permit, employment contract, proof of securing accommodation.
A foreign national can only submit the application for a long-term visa based on the long-term employment at the Czech embassy in his/her country of origin. The applicant is obliged to undergo an interview if the embassy calls him/her to it. The term of validity of a long-term visa is since 1.1.2011 shortened by The amendment to the Act on Residence of Foreign Nationals. A long-term visa will be newly issued for the maximum period of 6 months.
An amendment had also changed the authority responsible for the decision on granting a long-term residence permit. It is not Foreign Police Departments any more, but new regional offices of the Department for Asylum and Migration Policy of the Ministry of the Interior. The application can be submitted by a foreign national, who stays in the territory of the Czech Republic upon a long-term visa, is willing to temporarily stay for the term longer than 6 months for the purpose of employment. In order to do so, he/she is obliged to attend in person the office. He/she is entitled to stay in the territory for a term stated in the permit card, which will be issued with biometric data starting May 2011.
In addition, there are new requirements for the proof of securing accommodation by foreigners; it is necessary to submit it both to an application for granting long-term visa and long-term residence permit. Accommodation can only be secured in a building intended for living, accommodation or recreation. The accommodation provider is obliged to ensure to a foreign national that the floor area of a room for accommodation must be at least 8 m2, if a single person is accommodated, 12.6 m2 if two persons are accommodated; 5 m2 are added to the floor area per every further accommodated person. A foreign national is obliged to prove securing accommodation by any of the following documents: a document proving that he/she is an owner of the respective flat or house or a document proving that he/she is entitled to use the respective flat or house based on a lease or an officially certified confirmation of a person who is the owner or authorized user of the respective flat or house that he/she agrees with accommodating the foreign national. Any other document will not be recognized as a proof of securing accommodation.
GREEN CARD
The green card is a permit for long-term residence for employment purposes in the Czech Republic under special circumstances. A foreigner who has a green card issued for a specific job is entitled to reside in the Czech Republic and work in a job for which the green card was issued. The green card is for foreigners, citizens of the following countries listed, which are not members of the European Union: Australia, Montenegro, Croatia, Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, United States of America, Serbia, Ukraine. It simplifies entry to the job market for foreigners who have qualifications for which the Czech Republic has a job opening in register of jobs suitable for green cards The acceptance of this institute was not as common as predicted by a legislator in 2009 due to the procedure, when future employers did not have any chance to affect the selection of employees before their arrival. The green card is issued for qualified workers with university education and key personnel, for workers in jobs with a minimum educational requirement or for other workers. Jobs for green card holders can be found in the central register of job vacancies suitable for green card holders accessible on the internet on: http://portal.mpsv.cz/sz/zahr_zam/zelka/vm.The validity of the green card is for 2-3 years but it can be extended.
BLUE CARD
The amendment to the Act introduces a new residential institute intended for the stay associated with the performance of a highly qualified employment. A foreigner holding a blue card may reside in the Czech Republic and work in the job for which the blue card was issued, or change that job under the conditions defined. High qualification means a duly completed university education or higher professional education which has lasted for at least 3 years. An application for issuing the blue card shall be submitted by a foreign national at the Czech embassy or, in selected cases, also at the Ministry of the Interior in the Czech Republic. The foreign national is obliged to submit an employment contract agreed at least for the period of one year and documents proving his/her high qualification to the application for issuing the blue card. The blue card is issued with the term of validity 3 months longer than the term for which the employment contract has been concluded, however for the maximum period of 2 years. The blue card can be extended. One of the conditions for issuing the blue card is a wage criterion - the employment contract must contain gross monthly or yearly wage at least at the rate of 1.5 multiple of the gross average annual wage. The important advance in contrary to previously criticized green cards therefore is that the whole procedure is carried out after the selection of an employee by the employer. A change of the employer or job classification of a blue card holder during the first two years of stay in the Czech Republic is subject to the approval of the Ministry of the Interior. A blue card holder will be allowed to obtain permanent residence/the status of a long-term staying resident in the European Communities after 5 years of the stay in the Territory of the EU member states, whereas he/she must stay as a blue card holder in the Territory of the Czech Republic for the last 2 years. The blue card stays from various EU member states are included in the period of 5 years. A blue card holder and his/her family members will be allowed to reunify the family with no minimum period of the previous stay in the Czech Republic, i.e. immediately. The central evidence of open jobs, which can be filled with the blue card holders is provided by the Labor Office in the Czech Republic. The web page is:http://portal.mpsv.cz/sz/zahr_zam/modka/vm. The open job is such, which was not filled until 30 days since its announcement to the office. The approval of an employer is needed in order to register the open job to the evidence.
NOSTRIFICATION OF DIPLOMA
Some important changes were introduced in this field from January 2012. If a foreigner wants to apply for a job where a certain level of qualification is required, when applying for a work permit he/she must show a certificate that proves such qualification. In March 2012, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs issued an internal regulation for the Labour Offices. This regulation determines how to consider the documents proving the professional capacity, and based on this regulation, the Czech Labour Offices have to require their nostrification (i.e. full acceptance by a Czech educational authority). It means that such certificate must be recognized in the Czech Republic and it is recognized only if a program that the foreigner studied (and finished) has its equivalent in the Czech Republic. The procedure on nostrification takes up to 30 days, however, this period can be prolonged in difficult cases. The only exception applies to certificates issued in countries, which the Czech Republic concluded an agreement on mutual recognition of equivalence of educational documents with, so in case a certificate was issued by a school in Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia or Slovenia it does not need recognition in the Czech Republic.
EMPLOYMENT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
According to the Act no. 262/2006 Coll., the labor code, there are 3 types of employment.
a)”Employment relationship” is the most common and used type of employment. It can be contracted for maximum of 2 years in case of foreigners. If the term is not explicitly set out in the contract, it is considered to be of indefinite time period. The trial period can be also arranged for maximum period of 3 months. The termination reasons of the employment are limited in order to provide stable employment and prevent benevolent dismissals.
b)”Agreement on Working Activity” is second type of work Agreements and it has to be made in writing and the employer is not obliged to schedule hours of such work as well. The work may not be performed on the basis of an agreement on working activity, where the average scope of work exceeds one-half of normal weekly working hours. The agreement may be terminated unilaterally by stating any reason, or without stating it, with a 15-day notice period. In contrast to the agreement b), the employee has to pay health and social insurance.
c)”Agreement on Work Performance” is used for short-term works and the scope of work for which an agreement on work performance is concluded may not exceed 300 hours in one calendar year. The employer is not obliged to schedule hours of such work, so the work can be carried out “on-call” of the employer. This contract must be made in writing, but the particular task does not have to be specified. Since 2012 the employee has to pay health and social insurance.
CRIMINAL ASPECTS OF EMPLOYING FOREIGNERS
As there are more ways for foreign nationals to be employed in the Czech Republic, sanctions imposed on illegal workers are being tightened up. In addition, since the 1st of January 2010, illegal employment has been criminalized and is now one of the crimes against the order in public matters (sec. 342, Act 40/2009 Coll.). It is directed mainly to tackle organized groups arranging illegal work without any permit from Czech authorities.

Vraag me af of TS dit ook nog zal lezen want na de eerste 2 berichten is zij niet meer ingelogd. 
Het zou wel zo netjes zijn als mensen die vragen stellen daar later op terugkomen hoe het is afgelopen.
Diverse forumleden steken er tijd in om informatie te geven maar op deze manier lijkt het of dat niet gewaardeerd wordt.

Hallo Lady35,
Ik werk sinds 4 maanden in Brno.
Het vinden van een huis/kamer is redelijk simpel.
Met een loon van +/- 33.000 is hier goed rond te komen.
Verder qua discriminatie zal ik me niet te druk maken, ik werk namelijk hier in een bedrijf met 16 verschillende nationaliteiten.
Mocht je eventueel vragen of een gids nodig hebben, laat het maar even weten.
Groeten Gertjan

Hallo allemaal
Ik ben net terug uit Tsjechie.
Nu kan ik een baan krijgen in Brno.
Alleen ik heb een raar gevoel bij deze stad.
Ongemakkelijk en onveilig.
Het is absoluut een mooie stad maar ik vond er nogal veel sinistere types rondlopen...
Is Brno veilig of is mijn gevoel deels terecht?
Ook had ik het idee dat mensen me aanstaarden enzo...
Kan dat zijn omdat ik een fashion iemand ben?

It depends on which part of Brno you mean. Some parts are less safe than others but the same goes for all big cities. In Brno, there are some districts full of gypsies and (maybe this is not politically correct) most of them is better to avoid.
People were staring at you? I do not know how you look like and where this happend but if you stick out, people will do this. It is not only about look but also about behaviour.
If you cannot deal with "being different", I would recommend you to stay where you are. Moving to and working in a different country is only for those who have guts and even brave ones can have difficulties to keep on track all the time.

Ik heb ondanks de sinistere types die je inderdaad vooral rond het station wel kunt tegenkomen eerlijk gezegd nog nooit echt een onveilig gevoel gehad in Brno. Zou me er niet door laten afschrikken als de baan de moeite waard is!
Dankje, het is idd de moeite waard. Het gaat ook allemaal wel goed komen!
Hello... Where I wrote that I can not deal with being "different"? Your comment doesn't make any sense...
Brno is niet minder veilig dan willekeurige andere grote stad in tsjechie.
wat is een fashion type ?
Dank je wel!
