Family Relocation to Prague: Moving Your Whole World, Not Just Yourself

Quick summary: Move To Prague helps families relocate together - securing visas for you, your spouse, and your children, then finding a family-sized apartment, arranging health insurance for everyone, guiding your school choice, and handling residence registration. One team manages the whole move, so you can focus on your kids, not the paperwork.

Moving alone is a project. Moving a family is a small expedition. Suddenly it's not just your visa - it's your partner's, your children's, the right neighbourhood, the right school, insurance for everyone, and a home big enough for the whole crew. The good news: Prague is a wonderful place to raise a family, and this is exactly the kind of move we love to get right.

Getting the whole family a visa

The key concept here is family reunification. Typically one family member applies for/holds the "main" visa - say a Digital Nomad, Business/Freelance/Zivno Visa, or Employee Card - and the spouse and children join through a family-purpose application.

Get the main case right and the family cases usually follow smoothly. Get it wrong and everyone is stuck. That's why doing this as one coordinated application, not four separate scrambles, matters so much. Learn more in our guide on bringing a non-EU family member to the Czech Republic.

A home that fits your family

A studio near the office won't cut it when there are kids and a school run involved. We help you find a family-sized apartment in the right neighborhood - close to good schools, parks, and transport - and handle the landlord, the contract, and the Czech-language fine print. More about Prague Neighbourhoods here and about our services in this regards here. 

Schools: one of your biggest decisions

Prague has an excellent range of international schools (English, and other languages too), plus strong local and bilingual options. Choosing depends on your kids' ages, how long you're staying, and your budget. We help you understand the landscape and time your applications so your children have a spot when you arrive - one of the most stressful pieces if you leave it late.

Health insurance for every family member

Every family member needs valid health coverage from day one, and children have their own requirements. We arrange the right policies for the whole family so nobody has a gap. See our Everything you Need to Know about Czech Health Insurance guide.

Everything else, handled

Bank accounts, Foreign Police registration, phone numbers, transport passes - the long tail of admin that's tedious for one person and overwhelming for a family. We coordinate it so your first month is about settling your kids in, not standing in queues.
