Life as a digital nomad in Czech Republic

Hi everyone,

Digital nomadism has become more and more popular in the past few months and the Czech Republic seems to be the perfect spot for it.
If you are a digital nomad yourself, please share with us your experience of this new way of working in Czech Republic.

What motivated you to take the plunge? And why did you choose the Czech Republic as your new home?

Were you granted a special visa? What documents did you need to apply for it?

Which sectors allow you to establish yourself as a digital nomad? What do you do for a living?

Where do you work: in a coworking space, at home, in cafes or outdoors? Is your internet connection satisfactory?

How did you find your accommodation in Czech Republic? What did you opt for: a flat / house on your own, co-housing, or a room in a bed and breakfast? How much do you spend on your accommodation each month?

Thanks for your contribution!

I'll hit the questions first:

1. My partner is Czech, when she became pregnant in Malta we had to leave Malta as it does not have adequate/safe facilities for child-birth, the Czech Republic was a logical option

2. At the time as a British Citizen I still had freedom of movement to live and work in the Czech Republic, since then the English/Welsh voted to end freedom of movement for themselves, due to this I had to apply for permanent residence, which I secured due to having immediate relatives here (my children)

3. I work as a marketing consultant specializing in the gaming sector

4. I work from home, I used to use a co-working space but, since the pandemic, I have worked completely from home

5. We rent an apartment in Prague, it's about 1500 euros a month

In summary, I have been here a few years now, the pandemic changed things a lot, I will return to travelling and working more next year when I will be splitting my time between Poland/Malta and the Czech republic.

I nearly forgot to add, it's a beautiful country, lovely people and one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I have recently bought a summer house here, which over the course of years I hope to convert to a house-house, so no matter what I do and where we go live and work we will always return here, beautiful country and people.
