Temporary residence x permanent job contract

Hi all!

My friend from Ukraine has a Czech residence permit valid until February 2025. Recently she applied for a permanent job in Prague, but the company told her that they won’t be able to offer her a perm role, because my friend’s permit expires in 12 months, and they don’t know for sure if her permit will get extended. They offer her a contract for 12 months instead.

I don’t live in Czechia, so I don’t know, but maybe you could help . (1) Is the company right saying that they cannot offer her a perm role since she is on a temp residence permit? What is your experience? (2) We are afraid that if she accepts 12 month contract, then she will have “difficulties” with aplying for a residence permit extension by the end of the year (since the immigration office will see that her employment is coming to an end). What do you think?

Any help would be appreciated
