Brno, an Adoptive City for Many Expat Families

Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, is home to a diverse and thriving community of foreign families from around the world. In recent years, the number of expatriates living and working in Brno has risen significantly, with people from countries like the UK, Germany, Russia, and the US, among others, choosing to make this city their home. Statistics indicate that as of 2021, there are over 15,000 foreign nationals living in Brno, with the majority of them being employed in the city's booming IT and engineering sectors. The city's strong economic growth, affordable cost of living, and high quality of life have made it an attractive destination for expatriates looking to advance their careers and start new families. For many foreign families in Brno, work is not the only thing on their minds. They also have plenty of opportunities to enjoy their free time and explore the city's many cultural attractions, such as its numerous museums, theatres, and music venues

This Will Save You a Trip to the MSSZ Office - An Easy Step by Step Guide by ExpatMom

Is not a secret that the Czech Postal Services are working great but for newly arrived expats it might be something easily disregarded. Will be starting a weekly series with short step by steps guides on how to ask some paperwork via email from various Czech based offices. I am doing it first for me, to have these details in future, in case someone asks me or I might just forget and is handy to have it here. If you are on a maternity leave and the term for your Parental Leave start is close, you might need a paper from MSSZ office which states you are on a maternal leave.  If you are Czech native speaker, this guide is not for you and you might even find it funny, this guide is just for new expat moms of Brno - sorry to say it:  exhausted moms, like me who really don't wish to make that trip to Gajdosova street and wait in line to take the paper. First, you can call them but I haven't try that as I cannot speak Czech on that level or any level... if it matters.
