Move to Prague has been vital to making my move to this beautiful city of Prague smooth and stress free. They are always willing to answer questions no matter how silly they may be. They accompanied me to my government appointments which was crucial since I speak very little Czech. I tell everyone that asks what an amazing job they have done for me. Do not hesitate to contact them if you are planning to move to the Czech Republic.
What really happens when you move to another country?
Borderline Czech is a podcast about the realities nobody puts in relocation guides - bureaucracy, culture shocks, identity shifts, relationships, and the unexpected chaos of building a life abroad. Hosted by Jan and Daria, it combines expert insight with unfiltered conversations, honest opinions, and stories from the expat experience in the Czech Republic.
Because relocation isn’t just paperwork. It’s personal.
