Czechia has rolled out a digital nomad visa, offering a one-year stay for skilled foreign workers looking to work remotely within the country. This visa, introduced to attract talented professionals, eliminates the requirement of finding a local employer, granting greater flexibility to applicants.
Eligibility for this visa is open to citizens from eight countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Applicants must hold either a university degree or possess three years of relevant IT work experience. For those employed by foreign companies in Czechia, a monthly income of at least $2,734 (CZK 60,530) is required. The application fee for the visa is $112 (CZK 2,500), with an expected processing time of around 45 days. Additionally, family members can also apply for a residence permit if accompanying the primary visa holder. Given Czechia’s reputation as an attractive place to live, this digital nomad visa is poised to draw considerable interest among remote workers seeking new opportunities.
