Screening reference: four times the €920 mainland minimum wage for 2026. Confirm current route-specific evidence with your consulate.

A screening reference is not approval. Nationality, application location, evidence and other conditions still need review. Numerical references expire after 2026.

Before you apply

  • Choose temporary stay or residence before collecting documents.
  • Confirm the required income period, tax-residence evidence and remote-work contracts.

After approval

  • Follow the residence-permit procedure applicable to your visa.
  • Check absence and renewal conditions independently of tax-day counts.

Budget and fees

Visa, permit, document and insurance fees are separate. No fixed all-in cost is verified here.
