Prague is the obvious hook, and the Zivno path is one of Europe's clearest self-employed visas — get a trade license, register a business address, prove insurance, file Czech tax. Costs sit well below Western Europe even after 2024's inflation, and the medical system is genuinely good for the price. Outside Prague, Brno is the dark-horse base — university town, lower costs, and a coworking ecosystem that's matured fast.
