Digital Nomads can apply for their Czech Digital Nomad Visa along with their family members. The process has it specifics and rules to follow which we describe in details in this article.
Who qualifies as a family member of a Digital Nomad in the Czech Republic
Czech Republic generally only allows spouses and children (below 18 years of age) to apply for the family reunification visa. If you plan on bringing other family members such as parents, siblings or even more distant family members such as aunt or uncles, the chances of making that happen in the Czech Republic are very low. The below paragraphs primarily cover the family reunification process for spouses and children.
Family Reunification Visa – specifics for Digital Nomad family members
We have covered the topic of family reunification visa in the Family Reunification Visa article. In the article you are currently reading, we focus primarily on what applies to family members of Digital Nomads specifically.
The main difference compared to other visa applications is that if the main applicant is a Digital Nomad, they must include their family members already in the MIT (Ministry of Industry and Trade) registration to the Digital Nomad program.
As explained in our comprehensive Czech Digital Nomad Visa: Full 2025 Guide, if you are a Digital Nomad, you do not apply for your visa appointment yourself. You only specify which Czech Embassy you want to apply at in the Digital Nomad application form for the MIT. If the MIT approves you for the Digital Nomad program, they immediately contact the Embassy of your choosing and the Embassy offers you the soonest available appointment. The same applies to your family members. If you do not include them into the Digital Nomad program registration to the MIT, they will not get their visa submission appointments.
This means you will all go to the Embassy together, and often very soon after the MIT registration is done. When people try to get their Czech Digital Nomad Visa on their own, this is the most common misunderstanding and mistake. The MIT registration application should be the last step of the preparation process that only happens once you have all documents ready for both yours and your family’s applications.
If you get the appointment at the Czech Embassy and then you do not show up because you did not have everything ready (or you show up but do not have everything ready, the same outcome), you might not be given a second chance to apply. The official rules of the Czech Digital Nomad Visa program say that you must provide a reasonable explanation of why you can not come for your appointment (hard to say if “I did not manage to prepare all the documents in time” is reasonable). And even if you do provide a reasonable explanation, the Embassy can only reschedule once. If you do not show up again, the Czech Digital Nomad doors might have forever closed for you.
If you do not want to risk anything and want to make sure both yours and your family member’s applications are submitted smoothly and with high chances of approval, contact us and we’ll be happy to assist you.
