Do I need to visit the Czech Republic in person to buy or register a company?

No, you do not need to be physically come to the Czech Republic. Both the incorporation of a new company and the purchase of a ready-made firm can be completed without the personal presence of the directors and founders.

As of today, it is not strictly necessary for founders and directors to travel to the Czech Republic for company registration. The law allows for the entire process to be completed without your personal presence by using a power of attorney. For a remote setup, you will need a representative located in the Czech Republic to handle the formalities on your behalf. This option is currently highly relevant, given that personal travel to the Czech Republic is not always simple.

A power of attorney for this process can always be certified, and we will help you identify the available options for your situation, which is usually done through a local notary or the nearest Czech consulate. For our clients, we prepare the precise wording of this power of attorney after we have finalized all the personal details of the directors and founders, along with the information for the legal entity we are establishing.

If you prefer to handle the incorporation of your Czech company or the purchase of an existing one with a personal visit, we can certainly arrange that. Ultimately, the decision on what works best for you is entirely yours.
