  • Proof of enough money

    Required

    Proof of money for your stay: 15 times the subsistence minimum, plus 2 times the subsistence minimum for each month after the first. The subsistence minimum has been 3,130 CZK a month since 1 January 2023, so one semester (September to February) needs 78,250 CZK. If you are under 18, you need half. Accepted proof includes bank statements, an international payment card, or proof your stay costs are paid. A public body, your school or a grant under an international agreement can cover some or all of it.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Application file doesn't match the checklist

    The embassy checklist warns that a file that doesn't match its list of requirements may be found inadmissible and not accepted.

    How to avoid it: Tick off every item on your embassy's checklist, with originals and copies, before your appointment.

  • Not enough money shown

    Funds must reach 15 times the subsistence minimum plus 2 times it for each further month of your stay.

    How to avoid it: Work out the amount for your exact stay length and show at least that much in your name, or with a sponsor declaration.

  • No original confirmation of studies

    The application needs the original confirmation of studies or enrolment.

    How to avoid it: Ask your Czech school for the original confirmation early, and bring it with a copy.

  • Criminal record not authenticated or translated

    The police certificate must come from the right countries, be authenticated, and be translated into Czech.

    How to avoid it: Ask the embassy how documents from your country must be authenticated, and order the Czech translation in good time.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
