The government of the Czech Republic will allocate 150 work visas each year for labor migrants from Uzbekistan as part of a new agreement aimed at strengthening organized labor migration and addressing workforce shortages.

The arrangement was discussed during talks between Director of Uzbekistan’s Migration Agency Behzod Musayev and Czech ambassador to Tashkent, Lubomir Frebort, The Caspian Post reports via Uzbek media.

The negotiations focused on preparing qualified specialists for the Czech labor market and expanding structured migration opportunities.
