Unqualified Trades according to Annex 4

'Free' Trade Licenses for which no qualification or diploma is required

'Free' Trade Licenses fall into the "Výroba, obchod a služby neuvedené; v prílohách 1 až 3 živnostenského zákona" category (so in short, in Annex 4 and not in Annexes 1-3 of the Trade License legislation).

Trade Licenses listed in annex 1- 3 are not of the 'free' type and require diplomas and/or qualifications. Examples are financial / banking services, medicine- and medical related, massage, hair, nail- and skincare services, fresh food and drink production and selling, bar- and restaurant activities.

90% of our foreign clients have activities than use the 'free' type of tradelicenses. For programming, consultancy, translation, trading, teaching no diploma is required (but if you would try to get a work permit, for the same job as employee, doing the same activities, the ministry all of a sudden demands a diploma or certification - another good reason not to become employee besides earning less.

Unqualified trades by field of activity - Annex no. 4 of the Government Decree no. 278/2008 Coll.
