Investment Residence in Czechia in 2026
Czechia has a long-term residence route for a significant investment by a third-country entrepreneur or a qualifying executive of a company making that investment.
Current official guidance sets the financial threshold at at least CZK 75 million and requires creation of at least 20 new jobs for EU citizens or their family members for a minimum period of 2 years.
Up to 60% of the required funds may be replaced by qualifying tangible or intangible assets, including technologies and know-how.
This is a high-threshold investment-residence category. It should not be confused with ordinary company formation, ordinary self-employment, buying property, or the Digital Nomad Programme.
Official guidance: Investment Residence.
