Hi all,

long story short: My Czech boyfriend applied for the IEC last year from Australia and got refused by reason of not applying from his home country. That was in December 2017. He has left Australia in March 2018, travelled Asia and is now back in Czech since July.

He wants to apply again once the pools open. Is there any requirement or rule regarding the duration you have to spend at your permanent address before it becomes valid?

The only thing is says online is this:

"provide a permanent address in the Czech Republic in your work permit application"

Cheers, Lisa

No minimum time but keep in mind will probably need a police certificate from Australia which can be a pain given which for some people seems a strange requirement for a driving record in some states (Queensland/Victoria).

Hi Bs65,

thanks so much for your fast reply.

He already got this police certificate from Australia :) Lived in New South Wales and never drove there anyway, so we're sweet.

Cheers!
