Notes
Reference amount is the daily minimum wage for an unskilled worker, approximately EUR 67 per day of planned stay (figure stated 'as of 1 January 2018' in the notification; the underlying minimum wage has risen since, so the real-world figure may now be higher). Alternative: an endorsed statement of financial liability. Return transport ticket also required.
Consulates apply discretion and may expect a buffer above this figure — treat it as a floor, not a guarantee.
