Living expense standards in Prague:
-
For 1 person — 18,129 CZK.
-
For 2 people — 18,129 CZK.
-
For 3 people — 20,812 CZK.

These changes mean that those planning to extend their residence permit after January 1, 2024, will need to account for the increased income amounts required for a successful visa extension.
