Is there a specific minimum amount of money I must have per day of my stay?
Outbound Team
Yes — most Schengen countries require travelers to show they have a minimum amount of money per day to cover accommodation, meals, and basic expenses during their stay. However, the exact amount depends on the country you’re visiting.
Here’s a general guideline 👇
💶 Average requirement:
Most embassies expect travelers to show between €50 to €120 per day of stay, depending on your destination and type of accommodation.
For example:
• France: around €65 per day (with hotel booking)
• Spain: around €113 per day
• Germany: around €45–€60 per day
• Italy: around €50–€100 per day depending on trip length
📄 How to prove it:
• Recent bank statements (3–6 months)
• Credit card limit proof or bank balance certificate
• Sponsorship letter (if someone else is funding your trip)
💡 Tip from Outbound Singapore:
Our visa team will calculate your minimum balance requirement based on your trip dates and destination — so your proof of funds always meets embassy expectations and avoids underfunding issues.
