How quickly are applications processed under the Key and Scientific Personnel Programme?

Processing speed differs by programme. The Key and Scientific Personnel Programme is the most advantageous on timing, with a target processing window of around 30 days for participants - faster than the standard handling for the other programmes.

It also offers other conveniences, such as waiving certain documents and giving more flexibility on changing employers. These benefits reflect that the programme is aimed at high-value roles the Czech Republic actively wants to attract.
