A good fit if

Your nationality is on the eligible list (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, US).
You work in IT or in marketing via telecommunications.
Income from CZK60,530/month (foreign-company employee) or from CZK69,836/month (freelancer).
You are prepared to register a Czech trade licence if pursuing the freelance track.

A poor fit if

Your nationality is not on the list — the programme is unavailable to Russian, Belarusian, and most other citizens not explicitly included.
Your profession is outside IT and marketing — the programme is limited to exactly these two categories.
You are counting on income below CZK60,530/month — neither threshold is officially published, but independent sources converge on these exact figures.
You need an official government figure for the income threshold — CzechInvest confirms the programme but does not publish the amount directly; request it from [email protected].

Frequent questions

Why does the site show two different income thresholds?

The programme distinguishes foreign-company employees (CZK60,530/month) from freelancers with a Czech trade licence (CZK69,836/month, 1.5x average salary) — different applicant categories with different visa types.

Is the programme open to Russian or Belarusian citizens?

No — per the available data, the official eligible-nationality list is strictly limited to 12 countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, US), and Russia/Belarus are not on it.

Can I work in a profession other than IT or marketing?

Per the available data, the official CzechInvest page limits the programme specifically to IT specialists or marketing specialists working via telecommunications — other professions are not covered on this page.

Why is there no exact official figure for the income threshold?

The official CzechInvest page confirms the programme itself but does not publish a specific amount — the figures here are confirmed by convergence of several independent sources for 2026, stated in the sources section.

How often is the freelancer threshold reviewed?

Per the available data, the freelancer threshold (1.5x average salary) is reviewed annually in April and applies from 1 May to 30 April of the following year.

What is the visa’s validity period under this programme?

The official CzechInvest page does not state an exact term — per the available data, it is a long-stay visa; confirm the exact period directly with MPO or CzechInvest before applying.
