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.
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.

Family Inclusion: Immediate family members can apply to join the primary applicant, though they are not permitted to seek local employment during their stay.
Schengen Area Access: Visa holders can travel within the Schengen Area without additional visas.
Tax Obligations: Digital nomads may be subject to Czech taxation on income earned during their stay. It’s advisable to consult with tax professionals to understand obligations in both the Czech Republic and the applicant’s home country.
