The decision to move to Prague can be a difficult one and a lot of times there are more questions than answers regarding this life-changing event. One can wonder if the Czech culture culture is close to their own, what the standard of living is like, and if they will be economically successful in making such a move. Well there are more variables involved in your individual situation than just what the city has laid out for you. Allow VisaForce to shed some light on this process from the perspective of our cofounder who migrated to Czech Republic from the USA.
“I didn’t have a lot of prospects when I came to Czech Republic. I was certainly not qualified for much and this was all very intimidating. I signed up for a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course really not knowing what to expect.
What I learned after the course is what I lacked in accreditation, I made up for in confidence and personality. It is a very different lifestyle than anything I have experienced in the USA. I have found that creativity and networking works wonders in Czech Republic while the USA focuses more on merit and connections. I came here for one year and since then have made a great life for myself.”
When moving to Prague. There should definitely be a well thought out battle plan to enact to assure certain hardships can be avoided.
Czech Republic (like most cities) rarely offers any guarantees. However, being able to carve a life out for yourself is quite easy in this city if you take the time to appreciate the culture and learn how the society functions. Several pieces of advice to offer up from us to you would be:

With a trade license, you will not be working for a company the traditional style of them paying you a monthly salary, benefits, and so on. With a trade license, you will be working as an independent contractor performing tasks in exchange for compensation. This is closely associated with the style of the “1099” tax status of independent workers in the USA.
A trade license essentially means that you are responsible for filing your owner taxes and paying your own social and health contributions every month. Upon the registration of your trade license, you will receive an ICO which is an 8-digit number that you include with your invoices to the various businesses you work with.
