EUR 70/day of intended stay standard; reduced to EUR 30/day if holding a certified letter of guarantee, tourist booking or similar. Fully exempt if the guarantor's certified letter of guarantee assumes all costs of stay and departure. Art. 9, Regulation on the Visa Regime (OG 92/2021).
Consulates apply discretion and may expect a buffer above this figure — treat it as a floor, not a guarantee.
