Expats in Czech Republic Face High Costs and Daily Hurdles, New Video Reveals

Challenges for Expats in the Czech Republic: A Personal Account Highlights Key Issues. A recent online video by Ukrainian expat bloshenko_cz has shed light on several significant challenges faced by residents, particularly foreigners, living in the Czech Republic. The video, uploaded on August 25, 2024, details the author's personal "minuses" after two and a half years in the country, sparking discussion among those considering or currently experiencing life abroad. The primary concern raised is the exorbitant cost of housing. "I don't know where one needs to work or what kind of money to earn just to afford to rent, let alone buy property," the author states, emphasizing the financial strain on individuals and families. This issue resonates with many in urban centers across Europe where housing markets are increasingly competitive and expensive. Another major point of contention is the high cost of dental care. The video highlights that procedures like braces or implants are prohibitively expensive. "One implant alone might cost around 1,200 Euros," she explains. This leads many, according to the author, to seek dental treatment in countries like Turkey or Ukraine, where prices are more accessible. Finally, the video addresses the issue of tap water quality. The author notes that in her region, the water is "saturated with limestone," leading to constant residue on taps and in kettles. While acknowledging that some regions may have better water quality, she questions the health implications of continuously consuming such water directly from the tap. She also points out the inconvenience of early closing times for shops and pharmacies, with no 24-hour options available. These observations provide a valuable, albeit personal, perspective on the practical realities of living in the Czech Republic, touching on economic and social aspects that impact daily life.
