Prague is my dream city to live in. It is an incredible city. The cost of living is affordable, a very green city, great food. I believe Prague offers the most amount of value than any other EU capital

Absolutely right Prague is very beautiful city we come

15/23% personal income tax and 19% corporate not bad considering the location and the perks. good video

Interesting and well prepared video. Just please stop referring to the Czech Republic as "Eastern Europe"! If you want to experience real Eastern European countries, go to Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine etc. Czech Republic is located in Central Europe, just like Austria. In fact, Prague is located more than 200km more to the West than Vienna! For more than a thousand years has been Bohemia/Czechia firmly integrated into Western/Central European structures (Holy Roman Empire, Austrian Empire, Roman Catholic Church, Protestant Church etc.). Four stupid decades of the socialist/communist regime ended more than 30 years ago, so the purely geopolitical "eastern label" has no real meaning today and should be avoided. Like I wrote, Czech Republic is located in the very center of Europe and it's a highly developed, safe and stable country with strong economic ties to its direct neighbor - Germany. GDP per capita of the Czech republic is now at the same level with Italy, higher than in Spain and much higher than in Portugal (= Southern European countries that are still referred to as "Western" for some reason).

Nice video. I used to live there as my ex-wife is Czech and we have two kids that still live there. I also have some very good long time Czech friends which I talk with regularly to this day. The marriage part didn't work out all that well but the Czechs are wonderful and the country is such a nice place overall. Although I personally wouldn't live in Prague again, I will get back to the country someday to spend some more time hanging out with cool people. Ahoj.

​@@malthus101its a case by case kind of thing, in my opinion ... my wife of 3 years now is czech, I grew up in nyc outer boros and moved to the UK for work where I met my wife. We decided to move to CZ after a few trips there together. You get a high quality of life, low cost of living, safe and open society overall, central location for travel abroad among other advantages. My wife was raised and lived in a smallish town usti nad labem, about an hour an a half outside of prague. I feel her mindset, coming from a humble background means her outlook is much easier to get along with for me. She has a strong sense of being sensible and frugal with finances and was raised in an old school way where she's been taught the 50/60s style of caring for a husband as a married spouse ... idk just my two cents

Too many choices now - with business visas, nomad visas, retirement visas, investor visas etc etc. I could be wrong but it seems the balance of power is changing from country to individual in many countries. Smaller countries are recognising that businesses and individuals are far more mobile and can take advantage of the better jurisdictions. I've also been looking at birth rates in EU countries - certain countries need more immigrants to pay taxes and boost the local economies.

I think all countries are looking to attract people, because unless they're on welfare, they add to the GDP. Of course they're trying to bring in people that can add value to the country such as people coming in with skills, expertise, money, and or moving businesses. All of those things are big bosses for countries. And most of them are drawing from third world countries, because these are the people that want to leave. So it's up to them to select the best people they can get.

@OffshoreCitizen

You’re absolutely right! Many countries are doing their best to attract this kind of people: proactively thinking business people, educated people and digital nomads. I believe that we’ll see more and more countries following this path in the future. They want good quality immigrants that bring lots of value to the country.

does czech republic permanent residence extend to a person's kids above 18? as in if a person become a czech PR do his or her kids become PR too automatically?

Any idea what health insurance is available there for non citizen visitors?..

What about property ? if we buy property there can we get residency and what is the limit?

...how would you compare Prague with Budapest - which I've also been considering... ?!

Haven't the "restrictions" been pretty hard in the Czech Republic? I haven't been looking into Czechia (though I love Prague), but I seem to recall reading that "restrictions" were pretty tough, which would be something to consider both from the point of view of setting up and running a business as well as trying to have a social life and enjoy the rich local cultural and social scenes.

@@OffshoreCitizen I ve been for a week for evaluation, and I m here now to visit rentals. So many parameters as far as I know : Prague is better for architecture, green living, public transport, seems less polluted and bigger expat community. Sofia is better if you want very easy access to mountains&skying, to drive to Greece. People seems to be more open, and less politically correct. But for your favorite topic : Bulgaria is great to optimize wealth, Czech Republic is maybe better to spend it ;) (for the same reason a friend is moving from CZ to Dubai) Most annoying thing for me so far is the time difference of 1h to be in sync with my western EU meetings.

Unpleasant locals? :D Well depends on the situations. I really dont care about them, since I live like 20 minutes from center of Prague, but I have friends mainly on the Wenceslas Square and they like travellers. But you have to distinguish between travelers who behave normally and then those "travelers" who are drunk at two in the morning, ring the bells and shout at the quiet Prague. That can be really frustrating. But overall, the inhabitants of Prague have become accustomed to tourists and are doing well with them.

Scandinavia refused to give me the worst thing they have which is Asylum. EU is the best rubbish I heard of, I don’t have any EU benefits. Czech people are everywhere in Czechia asking foreigners to speak fluent Czech with them .

Not very insightful. No figures, just generic fluff.

Sir, Prague is not "Eastern European city", Prague is more on west than Vienna. Don't call Czech Republic "Eastern European Conutry" and don't call Prague "Eastern European city". I pretty much understand, why do you have this mental concept of "west" and "east" in your head, but this concept is OBSOLETE SINCE 1989, when the Velvet Revolution took place. "Eastern European Country" is Russia. "Eastern European city" could be St. Petersburg. But Czech Republic is not a part of Russia. Calling the Czech Republic as "Eastern European country" is the quicikest way how to upset the Czechs, and mabye got bitten.
