The most common (and easiest) way for a foreigner to legally purchase property is by establishing an SRO in their name. An SRO is a limited liability corporation registered with the Companies Registrar in the Czech Republic. An SRO can also be a useful tool for dealing with taxes and local compliance issues. An SRO designed specifically for purchasing real estate does not require a separate business license.
Documents needed for setting up an SRO:
- Bound copy of all registration documents
- Certificate of incorporation
- Change of registered address
- Change of company name
- Notary fees
- Stamp duties
- Legal representation to Commercial Court
- Memorandum of Association (translated)
- Minutes of General Meeting (translated)
- Any standard translator fees
EU citizens without an SRO may purchase land (excluding agricultural or forest land) after obtaining a residence permit. However, EU (and non-EU) citizens who have set up an SRO are allowed to purchase land regardless of residency.
