Republic of Colombia

Czech Republic
Czechia earns a place because Prague and Brno are major tech and services hubs, and the Employee Card gives non-EU workers a combined long-term residence and work route. The official foreigner portal also separates Employee Card, EU Blue Card, business, study and family routes in a way that is easy to turn into step-by-step guides.
