Czech Republic business residence permit

The Czech Republic doesn’t have a formal residence by investment program. Instead, like many countries, it offers temporary residence to those that want to exercise a self-employed profession and a business activity. The Czech temporary residence for the purpose of business is a very popular route as it is both inexpensive and it doesn’t impose strict restrictions. You first enter the country on a 6-month business visa in order to register your company. Thereafter, you will receive an annual residence permit that you need to renew every year. After 5 years of residence, you can apply to the Czech authority for permanent residence. Naturalization is possible after 10 years of residence in the Czech Republic.
