Notes
Rules implementing the Schengen Borders Code (UL RS No 29/07), Art. 2: daily subsistence amount EUR 70 for individuals; 50% (EUR 35) for accompanied minors. Not required where subsistence is secured (sponsorship declaration, letter of guarantee, or prepaid tourist accommodation).
Consulates apply discretion and may expect a buffer above this figure — treat it as a floor, not a guarantee.
