Czech Republic has expanded its Digital Nomad visa program to more nationalities
The Czech Republic launched Digital Nomad Visa program in July 2023 allowing eligible foreign nationals to stay in the country for over 90 days while working remotely for a foreign employer.
The initial list of eligible nationals included Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. From 24th February 2025, the program has been expanded to include applicants from Brazil, Israel, Mexico, and Singapore.
Digital Nomad program is focusing on highly qualified IT professionals and aims to facilitate their settlement in the Czech Republic. Additionally, marketing specialists can now apply alongside professionals in information technology (IT) and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
The following persons can be included in the "Digital Nomad" program:
a) an employee of a foreign company who has the intention of working for more than 3 months from the territory of the Czech Republic online using telecommunication means (the person remains in an employment relationship with his/her
foreign company and does not enter into an employment relationship in the Czech Republic),
b) a freelancer who is (or will become) a holder of a Czech business license and thus a self-employed person (OSVÄ)
To qualify for the visa, applicants must earn a salary of at least 1.5 times the average gross annual salary announced by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
Digital Nomad can be accompanied by family members (husband or wife / registered partner / minor child). The family members can be citizens of any country, but the application for inclusion in the "Digital Nomad" program can only be submitted simultaneously with the request of the main applicant.
