Czechia's Digital Nomad Programme is for highly qualified IT and marketing professionals from a defined list of countries who want to live in Czechia while working remotely for a foreign employer or as a freelancer. The underlying permit is granted at the ministry's discretion.
The EU Blue Card (modrá karta) is a long-term residence permit with work authorisation for highly qualified non-EU professionals, requiring a university-level degree and a salary of at least 1.5 times the Czech average wage. It offers wider intra-EU mobility than the Employee Card.
The Intra-Company Transfer Card lets a multinational move a manager, specialist or trainee from a non-EU branch to its Czech entity. It implements the EU ICT Directive in Czech national law and is for staff already employed within the group.
These are employer-sponsored government programmes — Highly Qualified Workers, Qualified Workers, and Key and Research Staff — that give applicants guaranteed embassy slots, simplified documents and, for key staff, faster processing. Workers still receive a standard permit such as the Employee Card or Blue Card.
