Digital Nomads in the Czech Republic: How to Obtain a Visa and What You Need to Fulfill
Digital nomadism is on the rise. More and more people are working remotely and traveling without being tied to one country. The Czech Republic, with its central location in Europe, stable economy, and quality infrastructure, is becoming one of the attractive destinations for digital nomads.
But what are the options for legal residence and work for digital nomads in the Czech Republic? How can you avoid visa issues and meet all the requirements? Let's take a look.
Why address it in time?
Neglecting visa issues can have serious consequences:
✔️ Fines and future residency problems
✔️ Refusal of entry to the Schengen Area
✔️ Complications when extending your stay further
If you want to avoid these risks and work legally from the Czech Republic, it is crucial to choose the right type of visa.
What visa do you need as a digital nomad?
For third-country nationals (outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland), there are several options for legally residing and working in the Czech Republic:
1️⃣ Long-term visa for business purposes ("entrepreneur visa")
For whom: Freelancers and entrepreneurs who want to establish a business in the Czech Republic.
What you need:
✔️ Obtain a trade license ("Živno")
✔️ Prove financial stability
✔️ Secure accommodation
Where to apply: Czech consulate in your home country.
2️⃣ Employee card
For whom: Individuals who have a job offer from a Czech company.
What you need:
✔️ Valid employment contract
✔️ Approval of the position in the register of job vacancies
Benefits: Combines residence and work permit.
3️⃣ Digital nomad visa (new since 2023)
For whom: IT specialists from selected countries (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.)
What you need:
✔️ Provide proof of education or experience in the IT field
✔️ Have a minimum monthly income
Benefit: Easier approval process and the possibility of legal residence for up to 1 year.
Common mistakes made by digital nomads:
❌ Working on a tourist visa – A tourist visa does not allow legal work in the Czech Republic.
❌ Insufficient financial security – Without proving sufficient financial resources, your visa application may be rejected.
❌ Unawareness of tax obligations – As an entrepreneur in the Czech Republic, you must meet certain tax and administrative requirements.
