If you’re interested in living in the Czech Republic for more than 3 months and working as a freelancer, you should apply for a long-term visa. Pexpats help you with the entire process.
We prepare all the paperwork to arrange your visa as a freelancer in the Czech Republic. You will get intensive support with every step of the process. We book an appointment for your application at the Czech embassy and look after all the formalities once your visa’s ready. Most tasks are done for you with a power of attorney so you save your time and avoid bureaucratic hassles.
A Digital Nomad visa in the Czech Republic is not the same as in some specific countries. The applicant of a Czech freelancing visa should prove that he will have income in the Czech Republic from Czech registered businesses or local Czech residents
