| New foreigners’ law to change conditions for non-EU nationals |
| Prag, 17.08.2019 |
|
| An amendment to the law on foreigners, in effect as of the beginning of August, has brought a series of changes concerning mainly foreigners from non-EU countries. Among other things, it introduces compulsory integration courses and quotas for economic migration. But, according to migration experts, the law is excessively restrictive.
The amendment to the current law on foreigners was put forward by Interior Minister Jan Hamáček, of the Social Democrats, who says the main impulse for the changes was to implement an EU directive to improve the mobility of third-country researchers or students within the EU.
Magda Faltová, head of the NGO Association for Integration and Migration, says this is one of the few positive aspects of the amendment:
“Another positive aspect is that the amendment introduces a new residency permit for researchers and students. If they graduate or end their research contract, they can receive a permit that will allow them to look for a job or start a business within the next nine months.”
Mrs Faltová also welcomes the fact that the amendment assigns a specific role to the state regarding the integration of migrants into Czech society, by establishing regional integration centres.
“Although they have been operating for several years, they are actually mentioned for the first time in the immigration act.
