Early interest list · UK to Czechia
Your next tech career could be somewhere different.
We are exploring opportunities for experienced UK technology professionals who are curious about working and living in the Czech Republic, starting with Prague and Brno.
We are testing interest before we launch. There are no confirmed vacancies yet, and registering is not a commitment.
The case for a closer look
Why consider Czechia?
It will not suit everyone. For experienced technology professionals who want a change, it is a serious option worth understanding properly.
- Sector
An established technology sector
Czechia has a long engineering tradition and a technology sector that spans software, cloud, data and research, concentrated in and around Prague and Brno.
- Workplaces
International teams
Many international companies run offices and engineering teams there, and English is commonly used at work in international teams. This varies from employer to employer.
- Hubs
Two distinct cities
Prague is the capital and the larger market. Brno is a university city with a strong research and software community. They offer quite different day-to-day lives.
- Living
Central European lifestyle
Historic, walkable cities with good public transport and easy travel across Europe. Direct flights connect Prague with several UK airports.
- Experience
A chance to try something different
Living and working abroad can broaden your career and your outlook. It is also a big decision, which is why we are starting with conversations, not commitments.
A balanced viewPay, taxes and living costs differ from the UK, and Czech is the everyday language outside many workplaces. We are deliberately not quoting figures here. We would rather help you ask the right questions than make promises we cannot back up yet.

Initial areas of interest
Starting with Prague and Brno.
Two cities with very different characters, about two and a half hours apart by train.
Illustration
Prague
The capital offers a broad mix of international and local employers, a historic centre, a busy cultural calendar and good public transport.
- Direct flights from several UK airports
- The larger and more international of the two markets
Illustration
Brno
Home to several universities and a well-known research and software community. Smaller and calmer than Prague, with its own character and modernist architecture.
- Around two and a half hours from Prague by train
- A compact city that is easy to get around

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
We would rather be upfront about what we do and do not know yet.
Do I need to speak Czech?
Not necessarily. Many international companies in Prague and Brno work in English, particularly in technology teams. It depends on the employer and the role, so we cannot promise it for every opportunity.
Outside work, some Czech is genuinely useful for everyday life, and many people choose to learn it after moving.
Would I need a visa or residence permit?
In most cases, yes. Since Brexit, UK citizens are generally treated like other non-EU nationals in the Czech Republic. A separate work permit is generally not required when moving for a job, because employment-based residence routes such as the Employee Card or the EU Blue Card cover both living and working there. You would still need to meet the residence requirements of the route that applies to you, which can include a job offer, qualifications and other conditions.
Some people are in a different position, for example those who also hold EU citizenship or who have existing rights under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement. Rules can change, so please check the Czech Ministry of the Interior's official immigration information and take professional advice before making plans. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is relocation support available?
We cannot promise this yet. We do not have confirmed employers, and relocation support varies between employers. It is one of the options in the form, so you can tell us how important it is to you, and we will share what we learn as opportunities develop.
Are there confirmed vacancies?
No. We are at an early stage, testing whether there is genuine interest from UK technology professionals before we set up the service. We do not currently advertise specific jobs or have confirmed employer partnerships, and we will not suggest otherwise.
Does registering cost anything?
No. Registering your interest is free, and you will never be asked for payment to register.
Am I committing to relocate by registering?
No. Registering simply tells us you are open to exploring the idea. You are free to say no to any opportunity, change your mind or ask us to delete your details whenever you like.
What happens to my information?
We use it to understand demand and to contact you about relevant opportunities. We will not share your details with employers without asking you first. The full explanation is in the privacy notice beside the form, which also covers your rights. Read the privacy notice.
Who is behind this?
This is an early-stage project to find out whether UK technology professionals would be interested in careers in Czechia. A recruitment business has not been launched yet, and we are not currently placing candidates. If you would like to know more before registering, contact us at contact@benjamingammage.com.
