tnxHello, welcome in here
How did you enjoyed Prague, how long were you staying there? Sorry - bit curious because I am Czech national, but living in UK for some 6 years now
Back to your question - I suppose when you've been moving to UK with your hubby you got a EEA family permit, or how did you get to UK? Do you have Czech citizenship or just residency permit?
This is a copy from UKBA website:
"I am a British citizen. Can my family members apply for an EEA family permit to join me in the UK?"
"Although the UK is also a member of the EEA, the information in this guidance does not, in general, relate to British citizens and their family members.
However if a British citizen is living in another EEA country, their non-EEA family members can apply for an EEA family permit to join them on their return to the UK. This is subject to the following conditions:
the British citizen is residing in an EEA Member State as a worker or self-employed person or was doing so before returning to the UK; and
if the family member of the British citizen is their spouse or civil partner, they are living together in the EEA country or they entered into the marriage or civil partnership and were living together in that EEA country before returning to the UK".
(source: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoap...snationals#Q15)
So I would say you will have to apply for EEA family permit to allow you to work. But it would be better to wait for a response from other (more experienced) members of the forum.
Hope it's been a little of help to you...
Good luck
