How long does the Czech Republic digital nomad visa last?

The Czech Republic's digital nomad visa, the Zivnostensky List, typically lasts for one year and is renewable. Initially, it's granted as a long-term visa allowing stays over 90 days. After that, you'll apply for the long-term residency permit, which gives you that full year. The Zivno is unique because it's a trade license, not a traditional "digital nomad" visa. You'll register as a sole trader, pay a flat income tax rate of 15%, plus social and health contributions (around 5,000 CZK/month initially). This makes it very attractive for remote workers. To renew, you'll need to show continued income and a valid address. The process is generally straightforward if you've been compliant with taxes and have maintained your self-employment. Many nomads find the low cost of living here (e.g., rent for a 1-bedroom in Prague around $800-$1200) and high safety score (74.4 on the Global Peace Index) very appealing. Consider working with a local agency for your initial application; it can save you a lot of hassle and ensure everything is filed correctly.
