Income
Their annual family income must not exceed EUR 10 000.
This income is increased by EUR 586.08 for each minor child (i.e. under 18 years of age). For example, for an applicant with two (2) minor children, his/her annual family income must not exceed EUR 11 172.16 (10 000 + 586.08 + 586.08 = EUR 11 172.16)
NB: annual family income is defined as the total annual income – whether taxable, actual, exempt or subject to special taxation – from any source, with the exception of redundancy payments, for the tax year two years before the exercise of the right, relating to the taxpayer, their spouse and their minor children. For example, for applications submitted in 2022, citizens will be required to provide their tax assessment notice for the 2020 tax year. Unemployment, sickness, maternity and long-term unemployment benefits are not included in the annual family income (where such benefits may be granted during the following calendar year). For unmarried adult beneficiaries, the individual income is regarded as the household income.
