Includes license requirements for key professional services that are open to U.S. service providers.
Last Published: 10/19/2018
The Czech Republic is an open economy and there are no major limitations on selling U.S. services in the country. In some cases, limitations may occur in specific grants or tenders, especially in regard to the requirement to have an established office in the Czech Republic or European Union countries. Some sectors, including banking, financial services, insurance, or media have certain limitations or registration requirements, and foreign entities need to register their permanent branches in the Czech Commercial Register. Some professions, such as architects, physicians, lawyers, and tax advisors, require membership in the appropriate professional chamber. These licensing and membership requirements apply equally to foreign and domestic professionals.
