The publication of reference amounts for the crossing of the external borders, as referred to in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on a Union Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code), is based on the information communicated by the Member States to the Commission in conformity with Article 39 of the Schengen Borders Code. In addition to the publication in the Official Journal, a monthly update is available on the website of the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs. Reference amounts are provided in Section 13 of Act No 326/1999 Coll., on residence of foreigners in the territory of the Czech Republic, as amended, in connection with Section 5 of Act No 110/2006 Coll., on living and subsistence minimum, as amended. They depend on the current level of the subsistence minimum and vary according to the duration of the intended short-term stay in the territory of the Czech Republic:
for stays not exceeding 30 days — 0,5 times the subsistence minimum (current amount — November 2017 — CZK 2200) for each day of stay, i.e. CZK 1100 per day;
for stays exceeding 30 days — 15 times the subsistence minimum (current amount — November 2017 — CZK 2200), i.e. CZK 33000; this sum shall be subject to increase of double the subsistence minimum for each whole month of the intended stay in the territory, i.e. plus CZK 4400 per each month;
the third-country national under 18 years shall prove half the amounts mentioned above.
The assessment of sufficient means of subsistence may be based on the cash, credit cards or traveller’s cheques in the third-country national’s possession, or on a document confirming the payment of services connected with the stay in the territory or on a document confirming that services will be provided free of charge. Declarations of sponsorship and letters of guarantee from hosts (in the form Letter of Invitation certified by the Police of the Czech Republic — see Annex 33 to the Schengen handbook) may also constitute evidence of sufficient means of subsistence. The third-country national who is going to study in the territory may submit, as a proof of availability of sufficient funds for his stay, a commitment made by a state authority or a legal entity to cover his/her stay by providing funds equivalent to the subsistence minimum (current amount — November 2017 — CZK 2200) for 1 month of the intended stay, or a document confirming that all costs related to his studies and stay shall be covered by the receiving organisation (school). If the sum referred to in the commitment does not reach this amount, the third-country national shall be obliged to submit a document proving the possession of funds equivalent to the difference between the subsistence minimum (current amount — November 2017 — CZK 2200) and the amount of the commitment for the period of his/her intended stay, however, not more than six times the subsistence minimum (currently CZK 13200). Document on the provision of means for one’s residence may be replaced by a decision or an agreement on the allocation of a grant acquired pursuant to an international treaty by which the Czech Republic is bound.
