Around CHF 100 per day for a self-funding traveller; around CHF 30 per day for a student with valid student ID. Alternative: a formal undertaking (Verpflichtungserklaerung) by a host, treated as an irrevocable liability of CHF 30,000. Same regime as Switzerland. EUR equivalent approx at ~1.07 EUR/CHF.

Consulates apply discretion and may expect a buffer above this figure — treat it as a floor, not a guarantee.
