More and more Ukrainian refugees are coming to the Czech Republic because of the war, and travel agencies can legally employ them. It is surprisingly easy. How to do it?
Check whether the potential employee has been granted temporary protection. Proof of it is marked on the travel document as:
- A visa sticker of a long-stay special visa for the purpose of toleration in the territory marked D/VS/U (or its equivalent in the form of a stamp with the D/VS/U stamp due to the lack of visa stickers), or
- A temporary protection visa sticker marked D/DO (or its equivalent in the form of a stamp marked D/DO due to the lack of visa stickers).
A refugee under temporary protection does not need a work permit, so you can conclude a work contract with him/her without further delay. Only after signing the contract and no later than the day you start work, you must report the refugee to the Labour Office or its competent regional office. The content of the report is a notification that you have employed a foreigner who does not need a work permit. A sample of this form can be found here.
If your Ukrainian employees need legal help, refer them to ua.support, a website that connects refugees with lawyers around the world who can provide them with the free legal assistance they need.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm Holubová advokáti s.r.o. for their professional yet genuinely compassionate approach in an exceptionally difficult period of my life.
The firm successfully represented me in a dispute with my health insurance company concerning reimbursement for a medication that enables me to actively fight an oncological illness and has already begun to show positive treatment results.
From the very outset, I felt a high level of expertise, thoroughness, and a genuine interest not only in the case itself but also in the person behind it. All legal steps were explained clearly and comprehensibly, and the communication was factual, calm, and supported by clear arguments. In a time of great uncertainty, this provided me with a much-needed sense of reassurance and trust.
My special and greatest thanks go to JUDr. Klára Dvořáková, whose commitment, precision, and empathy meant more to me than can be conveyed in just a few sentences. Her work was not only highly professional but also marked by human sensitivity and deep respect for the seriousness of the situation.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance combined with a truly human approach."

"We express our recommendations for the law firm Holubova Advokati.
Holubova Advokati was able to resolve a project for us with confidence, composure, and perseverance that German experts had deemed hopeless.
About 80 years ago, my grandparents and my father had to leave their home. The property has now been returned to our family through the inheritance that was initiated, and thanks to the excellent work of the law firm.
During the two-and-a-half-year negotiations, there were no language problems; everyone was always well informed about the current status.
Keep up the good work, everyone."
