Long-stay visa for carrying out business activities in Czechia.

Important notes

• Ministry of Interior lists long-term visa purposes including business.
• Applicants need required documents in original/official Czech or Slovak translation, travel document, proof of purpose, and proof of funds.
• For long-term visa for business, proof of funds is at least 50 times the existential minimum.
• As of the cited Ministry page, existential minimum is CZK 3,130, so business long-term visa proof of funds is 50 × 3,130 = CZK 156,500.
• This is not a startup visa; it is business/self-employment legal stay.

Preparation checklist
