| Increase for each additional full month | CZK 6,260 (approx INR 27,415) |
Accepted Evidence and Support
- A bank statement showing the required funds is one accepted option.
- Depending on your situation, a stipend, grant or qualifying salary evidence may also be accepted.
- You can submit an eligible written undertaking of financial support, or confirmation that your educational institution will cover your expenses.
- If the support does not cover the whole amount, you need to show that you can pay the remaining difference.
My Advice
Work out your total by checking the length of stay on your visa category on the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs page, then add a safety margin in your own planning. Prepare the bank statement or support letter well before your appointment, and check the latest amounts before the 2027 or 2028 intake.
Cash income, business income or no ITR?
