What do you mean by this?
Sorry, I should have clarified it better in my original post. Here's what I meant: the employer's German office will apply for the normal work permit for me to work in Germany. At the same time, the employer's Czech office (which is a different entity from the German branch but under the same parent company) will initiate Blue Card proceedings to hire me to work in Czech Republic.
I don't think there is a problem with having two applications as such - apart from one of the permits not getting validated since you can only be resident in one country.QR0228 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:17 pmSorry, I should have clarified it better in my original post.

The Blue Card salary minimum threshold is at least 55K euros per annum in Germany while my salary is lower than that. So, they can't initiate Blue Card application in Frankfurt. However, the minimum threshold for Blue Card salary is about 48000 CZK per month in Czech Republic which comes out to be 1840 euros monthly or 22K annually. The reason they are considering Blue Card in Prague is because the salary that I shall be paid will be more or less the same in both countries. It's of course a lot higher than average Czech salaries but about the average in Germany.
So, yes, I understand I can't of course work on a German permit in Czech Republic and vice versa. But will it be detrimental to my work permit application in either country if another EU country is also processing a work permit for me to work in one of their local offices?
That's great. I don't think we'll continue with the second option the moment we get the approval from either country. So, the passport problem won't happen. Thank you for the response.ALKB wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 10:24 pm

You may run into practical problems, though, like possibly being asked to submit your passport at the same time to two different Embassies, but I don't know Czech procedure, so something might work out.
Hi. I also discussed this with my employer earlier if such a situation was possible. Apparently, the Van Der Elst rules are very specific about the duration of stay in the second member state being of "short duration". It's not clear what this exact duration is but it has to be pre-decided before moving and I doubt it could become a full term thing beyond 3-4 months. If I were to move from Prague to Frankfurt under the VDE rules, I can't stay for so long that I'd lose my residency in the Czech Republic.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 3:42 pm@ALKB, could the OP apply for a Bluecard in a country with the most permissive rules and then work in other EEA member-states under the Van Der Elst judgment?
