Long Term View

Yes, the Czech Republic offers visa options that may be relevant for investors

Long Term Visa for Business Purposes:
This visa is suitable for foreigners who wish to establish or participate in business activities in the Czech Republic.
Investors can use this visa to manage their companies, supervise investments or conduct other business activities.
Requirements generally include submitting a solid business plan, proof of sufficient financial resources, and company registration in the Czech Republic.

Long-Term Visa for Other Purposes:
In certain situations, depending on the nature and size of the investment, it may be possible to obtain a long-term visa for "other purposes".
This may apply to investors who make significant contributions to the Czech economy.

What is the Type D Visa?
The type D visa is a long-term visa, issued by a specific country in the Schengen Area (in your case, the Czech Republic). It allows you to reside in that country for an extended period, usually longer than 90 days.

Mobility in the Schengen Area:
The Schengen Area is an area made up of 27 European countries that have abolished internal borders.
With a type D visa issued by the Czech Republic, you have the right to travel to other Schengen Area countries for short periods, usually up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
However, the main purpose of your type D visa is residence in the Czech Republic. Therefore, you should spend most of your time in this country.

Limitations:
The type D visa does not grant the right to work or reside permanently in other Schengen Area countries. If you wish to do this, you will need to apply for a visa or residence permit specific to the country in question.
It is important to always carry your travel documents, including your type D visa and passport, when traveling through the Schengen Area.

In summary:
With a Czech Republic type D visa, you can travel as a tourist to other Schengen Area countries for short periods.
However, your main right of residence is in the Czech Republic.
