Retired rentier
Retired rentier
Who may qualify?
Applicants receiving qualifying recurring income under a special category.
Amount or financial condition
There is no single threshold suitable for every case.
What does this mean in practice?
This is different from the pensioner category; the source and character of the income matter.
Documents to prepare
Financial certificates and proof of income.
Before applying
Check the current eligibility conditions for the specific category.
Understanding the amounts
The figures describe qualifying capital, deposits or income, not the price of residency. Government fees, translations, legalization, banking expenses and professional fees are separate.
Typical application stages
The first step is to review nationality, family or professional ties and evidence of eligibility. The applicant then prepares legalized or apostilled records, files the application and responds to any official requests.
Dependents and employment
Dependent eligibility follows the specific program rules. Residence does not itself grant authorization to take local paid employment; work-permit requirements must be assessed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stated amount a payment to immigration? No. An investment or deposit is qualifying capital subject to legal conditions. Is approval automatic? No. The authority assesses the application.
