Submitted from April 2026: new income standard

The income amount is unpublished, so the guide is an estimate.

It is unclear whether the new income standard applies to this period, so we assume it does.

Basic conditions not met, so capped at 5%

  • In principle, 10+ years of continuous residence are required.
  • Of that, 5+ continuous years on a work or residence status are required (technical intern, employment for skill development, SSW (i), intra-company transferee and similar do not count).

Missing: Income for the past 5 year(s) (0 entered). These are not counted.
