WHAT IS BEC?

The Brno Expat Centre provides skilled foreign
professionals and their families who live and work in Brno –
or plan to do so – with consultation (free) and assistance.
We have professional knowledge of the bureaucracy
concerning a foreigner’s stay in the Czech Republic,
and thanks to frequent contacts with officials know how
the legal regulations are interpreted in practice.
BRNO?
Our experts in different fields are available for registered
members every day.
We also organize expert seminars and informal meetings
where expats can exchange experience and make new
contacts. Last but not least, we regularly publish useful
articles, interviews with local expats and a monthly
newsletter.

Tyler Golden | Red Hat
Your flexibility saves us loads of time when adapting
newcomers to the work environment and the city of Brno
itself. We are pleased that, despite being a small team, you
manage to provide individual care, and so help to represent
Infosys and Brno significantly.
Malgorzata Bogucka | Infosys
We consider the Brno Expat Centre’s work beneficial not
only to our company, but also to the city of Brno, especially
as an important part of its strategic plan. We are grateful to
the municipality for its support of the BEC.
Roman Tesař | Lufthansa
It’s absolutely excellent what you do. I am really thankful
for your help. It’s very difficult to start a life in a new country
and this type of support is something that makes all the
difference.
Daiany | Brazil
I read through some of the infosheets that you have
compiled and I must say that those contain some of the most
valuable expat-friendly information I have come across
on the Internet. My (Red) Hat is off to you for the great work!
Ivan | Macedonia
Our mission is to help foreigners find
a new home in Brno and create an open
environment, so enabling them to take
part in the life of the city.
Nice job with the program this evening! You guys are really
a great help to expats in Brno. I wish there had been something
like this when I came 100 years ago – but I’m glad to see so
many people much more comfortable because of your help.
