Out of curiosity, do you now have a citizenship in Prague? I am unaware how it works for Americans living in the EU.

I am able to apply for Czech citizenship as I have been in the country for more than 5 years. I now have to pass some language exams and interviews. I hope that the fact that my grandmother is Czech will help.

Will help with the language, or with the bureacracy? I'd be surprised about the latter, but I'd also be surprised if they gave much trouble to an educated productive individual. Hodně štěstí!

With the bureaucracy... I need to show that I have familly, work, and social ties to the country:

A large part of the process is a motivational interview.

https://www.justlanded.com/english/Czech-Republic/Czech-Repu... gives an idea of what's needed to become a Czech citizen.

It's different for different countries in the EU.

Besides Prague being a beautiful place, what else made you decide to live there?

I am thinking about living in Europe too.. but it has been difficult to decide.

Thanks and cheers.

My grandmother is from Prague. I didn't actually "decide" to move here. My mother offered me a house that she was to inherit in return for comming to take care of an eldery aunt. It was a deal that I couldn't refuse...

I'm not the one who moved to Prague.
