This is from our friend and lawyer:
In order to have "zivnost" an EU citizen needs to provide the
subjective authorities with the following:
- filled out form for the registration of the "zivnost"
- 1.000,- CZK for each "zivnost"
- if it is a "volna zivnost" no special requirements concerning
education and training are needed
- extract from the criminal register of his home state, not older than
3 month - this has to be transleted into Czech
- confirmation from the financial and social security authorities
than he has no debts on taxes and social security in the Czech
republic - needed only if the person was conducting a business in the
Czech republic before, not when it is his first time !!!!!
- documents proving his rights to the Premises in which he wants to
have the seat for his business, such as extract from the kataster
nemovitost?, statment of the owner of the premises that he agrees with
the placement of the seat in the premises, rent contract - the purpose
if rent should be also business,
- residential permit issued by the foreign police authorities is not
needed for EU citizens in order to have "zivnost", however they may
file for this permit if they wish to live here for a longer time and
possible get a permanent stay one day....
for the residential permit these documents are needed:
- application
- passport
- 2 photos
- proof of the purpose of stay
This should be issued in 60 days, the application can be filed by
someone else having a power of attorney, but the permit has to be
collected personally. |

Check out legal firm websites for yourself. The most highly qualified attorneys found at http://prague.tv/venues/daniel-malis.
You can't always go by words of those who were paid to promote them ie. the abovementioned. Use your own descretion.
Good luck |

Actually, the confirmation that you owe no taxes is required for everyone, even first-timers. I was required to show this myself. |

so, one can aquire a zivno, (I know this sounds like a stupid question), but what if the person actually isn't making any money legally in the czech republic. Is it just smarter to keep doing business under the table? can you set up a zivno as a teacher of english, if you only employ one person (yourself)? and once you have a zivno don't you have to pay taxes every year as well, on top of health insurance? |

"residential permit issued by the foreign police authorities is not

how do you get a residence permit if you are a non eu citizen and don't have a zivnostensky list? |

# 7 you will need to get a job, basically, which will hire you as a legal employee and give you a work permit which you can then use to get your residency permit. You can also start your own business, sro, and as the Jednatel (director) you can get your VC 65 1 year residency permit. Alot of paperwork, but an alternative route if you have no employer. |

thank you, so I m basically taking it to mean that if you don't have a legal employer here, then, you can't actually do the application for the residency permit. and if you don't have a residency permit, and you are from the united states, then you can't get a zivno. so basically you need to be employed or be the employer of a company in order to get a zivno. pretty much leaves the only option, which is to start an SRO. |

Whoa, hold on a second!.....
Actually, to answer #7's question, you first apply for the zivnostensky list at the zivnostensky urad (office responsible for issuing zivnostensky lists). The zivnostensky urad will send to you in about a week's time a letter in Czech stating that they cannot issue you a zivno because you don't have a residency permit, but that they will issue the zivno to you conditional upon your bringing your passport to them complete with this residency permit. You use this letter as your reason for stay in the Czech Republic ("ucel pobytu) and submit it with all other things required for your visa. The VC designations for Czech visas are no longer valid, so you're just getting a visa for the purpose of self-employment. After you get the visa, you have three business days to get it to the cizinecka policie, who will then stamp your passport next to your visa, complete with your official address in the Czech Republic (the address you wrote on the visa application form, and for which you have a signed statement from your landlord). This stamp - together with your visa - is your residency permit.
So, no; it's entirely possible to get the zivno, whether you're employed by someone else or not makes no difference. The employer only comes into play if you want to work for someone else. If this is the option you want to go with, the employer will need to get a work permit for you, and you would thus apply for a visa for the purposes of employment.
Please, before anyone throws brickbats my way, I've just gone through this process myself, so I'm speaking from firsthand personal experience. |

Also to Anon #5, it's no longer a requirement for first-timers to show that they owe no taxes. The law was changed some time this year. |

ZIVNO:
I work full time for a company here: pay my taxes, insurance - have a social security number etc.. all legal and correct.
I also have a small business: just started and need to get a Zivno. Does the fact I pay taxes, insurance and have done the whole criminal register thing here make any difference at all? I am a Brit.
Cheers |

and if you need an address for Trade licence office, as you travel a lot, or have no good experience with your landlord, you can buy an address documents at one mailbox in Prague: www.pobox24.cz, it is not on their website, but you can buy an address for your Zivno registration for 5000czk + 20%VAT /yr. |

To get your zivno (work permit), talk to the nice folks over at pobox24.cz - they arranged all my paperwork before i got to the country, and rented me a po box so that i would have a legal street address (government rules of some kind). Good prices and i knew that they would take really good care of me. Bill |
