This is general information to help you get your bearings, not legal advice. Immigration rules, salary thresholds and shortage lists change often and every case is different, so for accurate details built around your situation, talk to a Visagrad specialist.
Windows like this don't stay open
The route exists. The hard part is being the one who actually walks it.
Shortage lists change quarter to quarter, quotas fill, and employers move on the candidates who are ready first. We don't hand you a form and wish you luck, we position your profile, time it right, and open the door before the window shifts. The people who make it are the ones who move now.
