To align with the rise in consumer prices, the Czech government is once again updating the living expense standards. Therefore, those who need to renew their residence permit after January 1, 2023, will need to account for an increase in the income amount required for renewal.

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.

This year, the Czech government is changing the living expense standards for the third time due to a sharp rise in inflation, which has increased from 2.2% to 9.9%.

This means that for those needing to renew their residence permit after July 1, 2022, they must account for the increase in the income amount required for renewal.

For example, for a single adult living in a rented apartment in Prague: — After July 1, 2022, an income of 14,741 CZK (net) will be required for renewal.

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
   • For the second and each subsequent adult family member — 3,840 CZK
   • For a dependent child aged:
     • Under 6 years — 2,360 CZK
     • From 6 to 15 years — 2,900 CZK
     • From 15 to 26 years — 3,320 CZK

   2	13,629 CZK
   3	18,312 CZK

Вслед за решением правительство Чехии от 16 декабря 2019  № 349/2019, об изменении нормативов расходов на проживание для 2020 года, с 1 апреля 2020 года было принято решение о повышении нормативов на прожиточный минимум.

Что означает для тех, кому в 2020 году предстоит продлевать себе разрешение на пребывание, что сумма доходов, которую необходимо будет «показать для продления», увеличится.

Например, для продления холостого взрослого человека, проживающего в Праге в арендованной квартире:
– в 2020 году будет достаточно 12 437 крон (чистыми / на руки).

Далее подробно перечислены сами нормативы.

на одного человека – 3 860,-Kč,    
на первого взрослого члена семьи – 3 550,-Kč,    
на второго и каждого последующего взрослого члена семьи – 3 200,-Kč,    
на ребенка на иждивении в возрасте:
