You can also apply for an amount from 30 000 CZK to 100 000 CZK, but in this case you will have to present documentation related to your incomes and other information.
There is also a possibility to get over 100 000 CZK, but in this situation you will need to have guarantee, that you will be able to pay it back.

Loans for foreigners with long term stay in the Czech Republic
If you are foreigner with a long term stay in the territory of the Czech Republic, there is unfortunately no banking or non-banking institution which would lend you the money under official conditions or official contract, since the majority of institutions require Czech citizenship, permanent or at least temporary residence. These requirements are the main obstacles for you to get the loan for foreigners, except for payday loans (up to 30 000 CZK) which are possible to get if you are a holder of the employees card or blue card and have a contract at a well-known company.
Loans for foreigners with short term stay in the Czech Republic
Loan for foreigners with a short term stay is unfortunately not possible, since there is no institution in the Czech Republic which would provide such loans. The reason for that is that a short term visa is valid for only 3 months and therefore there are complications with debt recovery.
Loans in the Czech Republic for foreigners from EU
Loans for foreigners from the European Union are as accessible as for foreigners from countries outside. For financial institution providing loans it is crucial you have either a permanent or temporary residence. If you are staying in the Czech Republic without a visa, but just on the basis of your EU permission, you do not have any option of how to obtain a loan, until you get temporary residence.
What are the conditions for approval?
Conditions are the same as for Czech citizens. There are some factors such as credibility which are looked upon more strictly by the financial institutions. Also, it is certainly simpler to get a loan with permanent residence than with a temporary stay. The whole official interview for loan application does not take more than an hour and you have to always provide documents such as: permission of stay, income confirmation or document proving your ownership of the real estate which would cover your loan. Of course you can also have a person as a guarantor.
