About the Expats.cz Survival Guide
The expats.cz survival guide was first created in 2006 as a helpful guide for newcomers to Prague and the Czech
Republic. Part of the original expats concept, our aim was to provide objective, helpful and unbiased information to
English speaking foreigners in Prague. It is the perfect tool for families moving to the Czech Republic, HR managers
in international companies and for individuals.
The Expats.cz Survival Guide is the most comprehensive guide to living in the Czech Republic - learn how to obtain a mobile phone contract, how to use the post office, how to greet your Czech neighbors, how to install a telephone line, and much more.
Hit the ground with your feet running in business, by finding top services in English. From doctors, to SRO (Czech Company) purchases, to finding a babysitter - you'll find it all in the guide.
