Refugees from Ukraine residing in the Czech Republic and enjoying temporary protection status can receive emergency financial assistance from the state. With reference to the Czech government, we will tell you how much you can expect.


Emergency assistance to refugees in the Czech Republic: Who is eligible?


This type of assistance is available to refugees who, for example, need


- a deposit when moving to another accommodation;

- payment for a medical examination when starting work;

- tickets for voluntary return to Ukraine;

- transportation costs for the deceased, etc.


In addition, funds are allocated as a result of an event that could not have been foreseen or prevented and as a result of which a person is at risk of losing their home or the ability to meet their most basic needs.


The assistance can also be used to cover increased electricity costs, to pay the first rent when moving from emergency housing to other suitable housing.


In general, the new type of emergency assistance in the Czech Republic is intended for people who use temporary housing because they cannot live in their home because it was destroyed or damaged by the flood.

How do I apply for emergency emergency allowance in the Czech Republic?


You can apply for it at the Labour Office of your place of residence. The application form and instructions for filling it out can be found here.


In the application for emergency emergency allowance, you need to indicate humanitarian aid as income. However, the emergency emergency aid itself is not considered income, so it does not need to be indicated in the application for humanitarian aid.
