Why We’re Not Just Another Citizenship Agency
We’re thoughtful, thorough, and deeply committed to what we do.
With a strong grasp of Czech citizenship law and a genuinely personal approach, we make sure you’re in good hands from start to finish.
Every Case Matters
No matter how complex, we take time to understand every detail of your story. No templates, no shortcuts.
Local Knowledge, Real Connections
We speak Czech, we’re here on the ground, and we consult directly with the Citizenship Offices.
Remote Process & Personal Support
No matter where you live, we work fully online and meet via video calls—easy, clear, and personal.
(And if you happen to be in Prague, we’ll be happy to meet you in person too.)
Expert Backup When Needed
When a case requires extra legal precision, we work with trusted attorneys to cover every angle.
More Efficient Than Embassies
What can take months of correspondence abroad, we often solve in weeks thanks to our direct contacts.
Human Approach
We care about outcomes and about the people behind them. No bureaucracy-speak, just clarity and empathy.
Meet the Founders of Czechwise
We’re two founders with one shared mission: to make the Czech citizenship process smoother, clearer, and more human.
With years of experience and a commitment to personal support, we founded Czechwise to guide individuals and families through Czech citizenship matters with clarity, care, and confidence.
No big firm attitude. Just smart, committed duo who get things done.
Martina Jirka Pohanková
Founder | Attorney-at-law
When she’s not immersing herself in the intricacies of citizenship, you’ll often find Martina lost in the pages of a captivating novel. But her adventures don’t end with the turn of a page—Martina thrives on exploring the great outdoors, backpack strapped tight as she ventures into the wilderness.
Michaela Garguláková
Founder | Attorney-at-law
Like Martina, Michaela is a Czech attorney-at-law with her own practice.
Beyond her legal prowess, Michaela is a cat lover and avid traveler, finding joy in exploring new cultures and experiences. When she’s not busy in the office, she cherishes spending quality time with her family, and creating lasting memories together.
Great colleagues make a great team.
We’re lucky to have these fantastic teammates who make all the difference.
