Does Prague Have a Digital Nomad Visa?

Digital Nomad Visa

2023 - Today...

In July 2023, the Czech Republic launched its Digital Nomad Program, aiming to attract skilled professionals, particularly in the IT sector, to live and work remotely within its borders. Initially, the program was open to citizens from eight countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. As of 2025, the program has expanded to include citizens from Brazil, Mexico, and Singapore, and now also welcomes STEM and marketing specialists with relevant qualifications.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Citizenship: Applicants must be citizens of the specified countries.

  • Professional Background: The program is primarily designed for IT & STEM professionals and, as of 2025, marketing specialists. Applicants should either hold a higher education degree in relevant fields or possess at least three years of professional experience.

  • Employment Status: Eligible individuals can either be:

    • Employees: Working remotely for a foreign employer.

    • Freelancers: Self-employed individuals holding or in the process of obtaining a Czech trade license (Živnostenské oprávnění).
