The only problem that I see is that you are a "self-taught" programmer, right? Many companies prefer people with an university degree because that is the easiest way for them to demonstrate that the candidate knows at least the basis of computer science, same thing with the embassies, they do not have time to assess if the applicant is actually a skilled worker or not, so the university degree is definitely a must. With 18 years of work experience you might apply as an "Experienced" developer and maybe you can skip the "university degree check" but is still a bit harder than if you had one. Also check the "Živnostenský List" [1][2] is a special type of visa for freelancers in Czech Republic that allows you to stay in the country for up to a year as long as you have two clients and $6,000 in your bank account. Once in Europe you can improve your chances to get either a fully remote job or an on-site with its inherent benefits.
