Czech Embassy in Manila Tightens Employee-Card Quotas and Moves to Quarterly E-mail Registration
Updated guidance published at 02:59 on 22 September by the Czech Embassy in Manila caps annual Employee-Card applications at 11 300 under government migration programmes and only 100 via the embassy’s quarterly e-mail lottery. Czech employers must pre-register candidates, and appointment dates will be sent to the employer, not the applicant, to stamp out appointment-scalping. Companies sourcing talent in the Philippines need to plan much further ahead to secure work-permit slots.
