Czechia
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and, away from the Old Town, still a reasonable place to live for a season. Czechia pairs it with excellent beer, forests and castles reachable by cheap trains.
Entrée et visas
Schengen rules apply. Czechia's Digital Nomad programme (2023) is aimed at IT professionals from selected countries and requires a sponsoring arrangement; the long-term visa for business purposes (Zivno) is the traditional freelancer route and involves a trade licence.

Sécurité
Very safe. Pickpocketing on tram 22 and around Charles Bridge; currency-exchange scams in Prague's centre (never exchange on the street, and check rates carefully).
