Minimum amount for traveling abroad: how much money border guards require

We remind all travelers that it is necessary to have enough money for a trip abroad. Violating this rule may result in a ban on entry, so it is better to be financially prepared.

The border service regularly checks the financial capacity of travelers and may not let through those who do not have enough funds with them.

According to the tourism company, the minimum amounts are:

• 56 euros per day in Slovakia
• 75 Polish zlotys per day in Poland
• 1000 Hungarian forints (approximately 2.5 euros) per day in Hungary

It is also recommended to have documents regarding the purpose of travel and hotel reservations. Regarding entry into Ukraine, there are also financial requirements defined by the legislation on border control.
