Business immigration to the Czech Republic: where to start

Moving to a new country to run a business requires careful planning of every legal step. Our consultation helps you navigate the complex system of Czech immigration rules so that you can choose the safest route to legalisation. We assess your background in detail, including your nationality, available capital and planned field of activity. Based on this analysis, we develop a step-by-step strategy for obtaining your first visa, which minimises the risk of an unfair refusal by the consulate.

Residence permit renewal and change of purpose of stay

Czech legislation strictly regulates the process of switching from one type of residence permit to another. If you plan to convert a student or work visa into an entrepreneur visa, you will need to meet a number of specific requirements set by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic (MVČR). We analyse your income, tax payments and residence history in advance to ensure there are sufficient grounds for a successful extension of your status. Our specialists will help you compile a comprehensive set of documents, avoiding the typical mistakes that often lead to delays in processing. As a result, you will obtain legal status, allowing you to run your business without hindrance and plan your family’s future within the European Union.
