  6. Return or onward ticket

    The Czech Foreign Ministry asks Schengen visa applicants for supporting documents on accommodation and a document proving intention to leave Schengen (mostly an air ticket reservation or other reservation, plus proof of ties and integration in the home country). The UK government tells British visitors that at Czech border control they may need to show a return or onward ticket.

    The Schengen Borders Code requires third-country nationals to have sufficient means of subsistence for the intended stay and for the return or onward journey. The European Commission's table of reference amounts gives, for the Czech Republic, CZK 1,565 per day for stays not exceeding 30 days, and CZK 46,950 plus CZK 6,260 for each whole month for longer stays; third-country nationals under 18 prove half. The Czech Foreign Ministry gives the same amounts for Schengen visa applicants.

  8. Travel insurance

    Schengen visa applicants need travel medical insurance valid throughout the territory of the Member States for the entire intended stay, with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 (Visa Code, Article 15).
