We will need this to prepare all documents for your visa process, and if it isn’t fully completed this could affect whether your visa is approved. You can fill out the questionnairehere.

You will need to provide a few more documents to apply for your visa. Here is a quick checklist of what we will need from you: Bank statement from your bank account

1. Bank statement from your bank account

   • You need to show a minimum balance of equal to 112 000 CZK in your bank account.

     

     Please note: This doesn’t need to be monthly statements of your transactions, but just a simple confirmation that your current balance in your bank account meets the equal to 112 000 CZK minimum.

   • No joint bank accounts. The minimum amount you must show for proof of funds Is equal to 112 000 CZK for one person. If you have a joint bank account, for example, you and your mother share an account, then that 112 000 CZK is considered to be divided between the two people who share the account, meaning each person would have 56 000 CZK. This will not fulfil the visa conditions for 1 person or 224 000 CZK.

     

     Please note: If you do have a joint bank account, the final balance should be twice the required amount for one person, or 224 000 CZK.
