Deciding to work or study abroad involves a number of administrative steps, from applying for a visa and a residence permit to meeting registration requirements, obtaining an employee card or arranging health insurance. When moving to another country, you also want to learn about its customs and culture and find useful tips. That is why we created InfoCizinci.cz. The website offers a wide range of practical information for people who have chosen the Czech Republic as their new temporary home (and perhaps, in time, a permanent one), those planning a holiday in Czechia, and foreign nationals living in the country on a long-term residence permit for the purpose of family reunification. InfoCizinci.cz also provides a platform for comparing and arranging competitively priced health insurance for foreign nationals.

More than health insurance for foreign nationals
Over the years, InfoCizinci.cz has established itself as a trusted source of information for people moving to the Czech Republic for work or study. “First and foremost, we are specialists in health insurance for foreign nationals. However, people have always come to us with questions about other essential paperwork, too. There is certainly plenty of it when moving to the Czech Republic. So, many years ago, we set up a specialist editorial team to give expats a single source of advice, recommendations and guidance on dealing with local authorities. The team also shares ideas for leisure activities and insights into Czech culture and customs,” says Jan Švandrlík, Sales Director at FaBrika, the company that runs InfoCizinci.cz.
What about getting married?
Some of the most widely read articles on InfoCizinci.cz cover the requirements for permanent residence for foreign nationals: who is eligible, how and where to apply, and what to do if an application for permanent residence is refused. “Visitors also come to us for information about marrying a foreign national, what the Czech language exam involves, and whether they are entitled to any tax benefits in the Czech Republic and, if so, which ones,” adds Jan Švandrlík.
Finding your way in a new country and choosing insurance
InfoCizinci.cz also serves as an easy-to-use directory, directing visitors to the relevant authority or government website. Examples include OAMP in Prague, the Department for Asylum and Migration Policy at the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, and Integration Centre Prague, which helps foreign nationals from outside the European Union.
InfoCizinci.cz also includes a platform where foreign nationals can compare health insurance offers and take out and pay for a policy directly online. “Of course, we understand that people may have further questions about private health insurance. They may need to explain their particular circumstances and tailor their cover accordingly. That is only natural, and we are prepared for it. One of our customer support advisers can therefore guide them through the entire process of arranging insurance. Our team includes specialists who can help you in English, German, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Slovak and, of course, Czech,” concludes Jan Švandrlík of FaBrika.
