About the country

Czechia is an affordable way into the EU: residence through self-employment (a živnostenský list or an s.r.o.), living costs that are moderate by EU standards, the middle of Europe and Schengen. A closely related Slavic language makes settling in easier. Permanent residence usually comes after 5 years.
