For the fourth time this year, the Czech government is updating the living expense standards due to a sharp rise in inflation, which increased from 2.2% to 9.9% as of July 1, and by September 12, 2022, had reached 17.2%.

This means that for those needing to renew their residence permit after October 1, 2022, they will need to consider that the income amount required for renewal will increase.

For example, for a single adult living in a rented apartment in Prague: — After October 1, 2022, an income of 19,241 CZK (net) will be required for renewal, which is 4,500 CZK more than before July 1.

Below are the detailed standards:

1. Minimum Subsistence Amounts (in CZK, per month):

   • For an individual living alone — 4,620 CZK
   • For the first adult family member — 4,250 CZK
