Requirements change. Each visa below links to the official source we checked. Dependents, health insurance, and clean background checks are usually required too.

How to read your results

Most residency visas for retirees and remote workers ask you to prove a minimum, steady income. Many countries tie that minimum to a local benchmark that changes every year, such as the national minimum wage. That's why requirements shift each January and why we show the date we last checked each source.

  • Likely meets means your income is at least 10% above the published minimum at today's approximate exchange rate.
  • Borderline means you're within about 10%. A weaker dollar or a stricter consulate could put you under.
  • Below minimum means you'd need more income, a different visa type, or a savings-based option.

Income is only one requirement. Expect to show health insurance, a clean criminal record, proof of accommodation, and apostilled documents. Read how residency visas work and apostilles and background checks before you apply.

Common questions

What counts as income for a retirement visa?

Usually steady, documented income that continues without you working: Social Security, pensions, annuities, and sometimes rental or investment income. Each country defines this differently, so check the official source linked for each visa. See retirement visas.

Why does my result say borderline?

Your income is within about 10% of the published minimum. Exchange rates move, and consulates may ask for a margin above the minimum or for extra money per dependent, so borderline cases need a closer look.

Do dependents change the requirement?

Often. Many countries add a percentage or fixed amount for a spouse and each child. Where we know the rule, it's in the note under the visa. Always confirm the family requirement with the consulate.
