I'm a US citizen residing in Finland, where I'm studying for a master's degree. A Czech startup would like to hire me part-time remote work while I continue residing in Finland, but we are all confused about whether they legally can. Is that possible? If so, would I need a Czech work permit, visa, both, neither, or something else?

The Blue Card application for Czechia requires a visa application, and the Czech visa applications in turn require for example "proof of accommodation", "a document on the purpose of your stay", "a travel document", etc. - everything based on the assumption that you will be living in Czechia. It's the same for the Employee Card. The Blue Card itself is a combined work and residence permit, the latter part of which I don't think I would want, as I wish to maintain my residence in Finland and I don't believe that simultaneous legal residence in multiple EU states is allowed.

Czechia recently introduced a "Digital Nomad visa", but this seems to be for people who want to move to Czechia and work abroad remotely, whereas I want to do the opposite and work for a Czech company from abroad.

My Finnish residence permit allows me to work 30 hours/week and I currently work 10 hours/week at a part-time job here in Finland which I'd like to also keep.
