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.

Headline routes include the employment (HG) residence permit, investor residence for shareholders of foreign-invested companies, family and student routes, and permanent residence after about five years.
