PRE-ARRIVAL GUIDE
RELOCATION (before arrival)
Welcome support
Welcome Office can help you with practical issues relating to your relocation. We just need more information about you or your family. After you fill in the online personal questionnaire from HR department, we will get in touch with you by email afterwards.
Visa & Residence
- If you and your family members are EU/EEA/CH citizens, none of you need a visa.
- If you or a family member are citizens of another country, you must have a valid visa or residence permit to stay in the Czech Republic.
The Welcome Office and the HR department of your faculty you plan to work at will help you complete all of the essential formalities with your visa or residence permit. Choose from below to get the right information on how to apply:
ACADEMIC STAFF - research, science, teaching
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
FAMILY MEMBERS
Housing
We advise you to first find a short-term rental for the first month or two and during this time look for a long-term accommodation.
SHORT-TERM ACCOMMODATION
- MU accommodation - MU may offer you a short-term or long-term accommodation after your arrival to Brno. Please check availability at [email protected]
- Other MU flats and rooms for lecturers - please check availability at [email protected]
- Airbnb
- Flatio – similar to Airbnb, offers accommodation for even just a few weeks
LONG-TERM ACCOMMODATION
- DOMEQ – very popular accommodation among international staff from all over the world. Minimum lease period is 6 months.
- Real estate agencies – here is a list of several agencies that our international employees had a good experience with and who usually speak English. Minimum lease period is usually 1 year.
- Bezrealitky.cz – used mainly by locals, you don´t have to pay a commission to the realtor, on the other hand the realtor usually provides you with valuable additional services (e.g. the person leasing an apartment is legally entitled to do so and that the lease contract contains all the necessary provisions.) For a non-Czech speaking person we recommend using a realtor.
How does a lease with an estate agency work in the Czech Republic?
- Leases are usually signed for 1 year, can be extended if both sides are happy and can be terminated earlier if proper notice is given (usually one to three months).
- The contract should be bilingual (Czech is the official language, English for your understanding). Czech administration offices (e.g. MOI) also require bilingual or Czech contract.
- This contract needs to be in original or certified copy (you can get this one at any Czech post office „Česká pošta“)
- Only the owner (or an individual with the power of attorney to represent the owner) can lease a flat or house. MOI will check if your landlord is also the owner of the flat (they have access to Property register). If your landlord isn´t the owner of the flat, they must also provide „power of attorney“ document confirming that they agree to provide you with accommodation.
What does the rent usually consist of and how much will you pay when you start a lease?
- Basic rent – the payment just for the flat/room itself
- Utilities – electricity, water, gas, internet, maintenance fee for common spaces
- Deposit – one time payment at the start of your lease, can vary from 1 to 3 months´ rent, is returned upon termination of the rental unless damage has been caused to the property. In that case, the landlord can retain a part or the whole of the security deposit to cover damages
- Comission – one time payment to the realtor for their services, usually equals to 1 months´ rents
The utilities can be paid in two ways:
- More often - an approximate cost of utilities per month is added to the basic rental fee. Once a year, the landlord adds up the actual consumption of electricity, water and gas and, depending on that calculation, you will either receive a refund or you will be asked to pay an additional sum to make up for the difference
- Less often – all utilities and its consumption are transferred to the tenant. That means that you have to go/contact each individual provider (mainly gas, electricity) and the contract is transferred to your name. For a foreigner this may be too complicated.
The lease contract may contain a description of the actual state of the flat, the furnishings, and the initial utility meter data. The latter is particularly important. You should check that the recorded figures are accurate. Also, check the furnishings to avoid being blamed for damages caused prior to your moving in.
If you have further questions or you need a help with housing issues, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

How to get to Brno
When travelling to Brno by air, flights to Prague (Praha) or Vienna (Wien) airports are equally good options, as the travel time from these airports to Brno is roughly the same (two and a half to three hours).
FROM VIENNA:
Buses
- REGIOJET’s comfortable coaches provide a direct connection from the terminal to Brno city centre. This is a very convenient connection and can also be the fastest, but coaches run on a rather infrequent schedule.
- FLIXBUS´s coaches are another option to get you directly from the terminal to Brno city centre. The departure timetable varies by day, so you should check the timetable for your particular travel dates.
Trains
To get to Brno, you need to take a city train (S-Bahn) from the airport and change trains at the Vienna central train station (Wien Hauptbahnhof or Hbf). You can find timetables and tickets here.
FROM PRAGUE:
Buses
- REGIOJET
While journeys by coach from the airport to Brno are possible, there is no direct route from Vaclav Havel Airport to Brno, so you will have to change buses at Florenc Bus Station in Prague. - FLIXBUS
This coach company departs from various bus stops in Prague. You will find more information on their website.
Trains
To get to the main railway station (Praha hlavní nádraží or hl. n.) you can take public transport or an Airport Express (AE) bus (jízdenka dopředu + cena).
There are frequent train connections between Prague and Brno which are operated by two Czech companies (ČD and RegioJet). Seat reservation ticket recommended. To find out more:
Living in Brno
Brno is the second largest city of the Czech Republic and the capital of the region of Moravia. With a population of just under 400,000, it is much smaller than Prague and is a friendlier, less crowded, and more relaxed city.

Life in Brno with pets
Czech people have a highly positive relationship to pets. Dogs are usually allowed in most restaurants, parks, etc.
When traveling with your dog in public transport, trains etc. however, your dog must wear a muzzle, otherwise you can be subjected to a fine.
Dogs - registration and fees
As a dog owner (cat owners are not required to pay any fee), if you are staying in the Czech Republic for longer than 90 days, you must register your dog at Brno municipality – the particular part of the city where you live. Unfortunately there is no general website as each district organizes this by themselves. In order to learn where to go, please visit the municipality website (Brno – city center, Brno-Bohunice, Brno-sever, etc.).
In general the fee for one dog should be around 1500 CZK (if you live in a flat) and 600 CZK (if you live in a house) per year. If you get a new dog in the Czech Republic, you must register it within 15 days of acquiring it and the yearly payment starts when the dog reaches 3 months.
Registration
At your municipality website, download a registration form (there is an example of Brno city-center form), unfortunately it is all in Czech only. Let us know if you need a help with translation and registration too at [email protected].
Bring the filled-in form to your municipality office, where you will get a special dog tag (your dog must wear it at all times, the police may check it) and also pay the fee. Please note that in case of moving out of Brno, you must deregister your dog and return the tag.
Veterinary doctors
After your arrival you should ideally find a vet and register your pet there. Veterinary care isn´t included in public insurance system and thus you need to pay for each visit, check up and procedure (each clinic should have a pricelist on their website or they should let you know beforehand the approximate price for the treatment).
Please find a list of some clinics and vets, always check first if they accept new pet patients:
Veterinary university

Health insurance
INSURANCE FOR AN EMPLOYEE
As an employee of MU, you are automatically insured and a participant in public health insurance (your insurance company is VZP). The insurance starts on the first day of your employment. It will take some time before you receive your new insurance card (1-1,5 months). In case you need a medical help and do not have your card yet, please let us know. Please always carry your insurance card and ID/passport when going to see a doctor.
INSURANCE FOR A RELATIVE OLDER THAN 18 YEARS
As a family relative who is not employed and thus insured by the employer, you must have a commercial health insurance, according to the law it must be PVZP. Insurance can be arranged and paid easily online. Before going to see a doctor please first check if they do accept the PVZP insurance.
INSURANCE FOR A FAMILY RELATIVE YOUNGER THAN 18 YEARS (CHILD)
From 1st January 2024, children under the age of 18 who have a valid long-term residence permit in the Czech Republic will be participants in public health insurance (insured by VZP). The insurance automatically starts on the day when the child receives their biometric card at the Immigration Office (OAMP). The child must be registered with the selected insurance company within 8 calendar days after receiving the permit. Insurance is valid until reaching the age of 18 years or until the expiration of long-term residence permit.
In case your child is already residing in the CZ after 1. 1. 2024 and has a valid commercial health insurance, it is necessary to contact the insurance company of your choice at least 8 days before the expiration of commercial insurance and register your child there. If this does not happen, an insurance debt will arise. You can choose where you will register your child, here is a list.
As you yourself are insured by VZP (code 111), we suggest that you register your child there as well.
More information about health insurance and the list of health insurance companies are available here.
Medical Care
Health insurance for MU employees is provided from the start of the employment contract.
Employees get standard coverage of medical treatment including surgeries and hospital visits. Medication can be fully, partly or not covered by insurance depending on the prescription.
You are free to register at general practitioner (keep in mind that the doctor for medical examination before signing the contract of employment is not automatically your GP). You can see a list of English speaking doctors and other important information on medical care in the Czech Republic at Employee Portal.
When you visit a doctor in the CZ, you should carry with you your ID/passport and insurance card.
Czech language courses
Whilst English is widely spoken as a second language in the Czech Republic, not everyone will be able to converse with you if you do not speak at least some basic Czech, especially outside of the main cities. In order to make your life a little easier and more enjoyable, a basic knowledge of Czech is highly recommended.

Education for children
With the exception of preschool facilities, education is free of charge in the Czech Republic.
PRESCHOOLS
Preschool educational facilities look after children from the age of three to six. It is not easy to find a kindergarten which will accept your child unless you live in the area of that kindergarten or your child is in his or her last year before compulsory school attendance. It is highly recommended that you contact the facility in advance to inquire about vacancies. If your child cannot speak Czech or you would prefer a facility located in a different part of the city from where you live, you will have to search for a private preschool. There are various options for private kindergartens in Brno. For instance:
- Kindergarten Elánek - MUNI Komenského (city centre) and MUNI Kampus Bohunice
- English Preschool in Brno "Safirka" – Pavlovská 16, Brno-Kohoutovice
- Kids Garden – Gajdošova 7, Brno-Židenice

- Školka Dráček – Bayerova 25, Brno-střed

- Viki Kids Club – Vodařská 2, Brno-Komárov
