I would like to spend a year in the Czech Republic, but I'm unsure about how to meet the legal requirements for this visit. I have income from an Internet based business that I own so I wouldn't need a job, but I would like to sell my services there if possible (if not, I would still like to move there). I'm just concerned about sending all the paperwork in and then having the visa denied, particularly because of the time involved in the process.

Is there someone I can contact that knows how to make sure all this goes through OK? Is there an expert whose time I can purchase? I'm from the USA if that matters.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
