You may be eligible for Czech citizenship by descent if you are a direct-line descendant of a Czech or Czechoslovak citizen. Even if your ancestors emigrated and lost their original Czech or Czechoslovak citizenship, you could still qualify. However, determining eligibility can be complex, especially if the Czech connection is through more distant relatives. There are more ways how to gain citizenship after your ancestors (three in total) and each requires a different process.

The timeline can vary depending on several factors. On your side, it depends on how quickly you can gather and submit the necessary documents—some of which may need to be apostilled, officially translated, or have a certified signature.

Once the application is submitted, the relevant authorities have different deadlines depending on the specific case and what needs to be addressed. However, in our experience, the overall process typically takes between 6 months to 1 year, mainly due to the time required to search for records in archives and other administrative tasks.

We always aim to expedite the process on our end as much as possible.

Whether you will be subject to taxation depends on whether there is a double taxation treaty between the Czech Republic and your country of residence. These treaties aim to prevent double taxation, meaning that if you pay taxes in one country, you generally won't be taxed again for the same income in the other.

If you do not live in the Czech Republic and do not own property or have any source of income here, you generally wouldn't be subject to Czech taxation. For personalized advice, we recommend consulting a tax advisor familiar with both Czech and your home country's tax regulations.
