Fifty Minimum Wages Is a Question Bulgaria Never Asks a Union Citizen

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Bulgaria opened a route for people living on money earned elsewhere in June 2025, and it is narrower than it sounds. Article 24(1)(23) of the Aliens Act, added by ДВ бр. 52 от 2025 г., lets a "digital nomad" get the ordinary one-year continuing-residence permit; article 24s sets the price of entry at an average annual income of not less than 50 minimum monthly wages for the previous calendar year, measured on gross income, on top of the general conditions in article 24(2) - secured housing, compulsory health insurance, and means of support of at least the minimum monthly wage, stipend or pension. The definition in paragraph 1(36) of the supplementary provisions is where the route is actually drawn: an employment contract with an employer established outside the Union, the EEA and Switzerland; or ownership of more than 25 per cent of such a company; or a year of providing remote services in a personal capacity - and in the second and third cases, on condition that no work is done and no services are supplied to anyone on Bulgarian territory. The permit runs for a year and may be extended once, for one more year, and that is the whole of it: there is no third year on this ground.

The Union Answer to Living on Your Own Money, and the Ceiling Croatia Puts on the Test

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

The Zakon o strancima is one of the few in Europe that defines a digital nomad in its own glossary and lists their stay as a purpose of temporary residence in its own right. Article 3(1)(43) sets the test by negation: employed or working through communications technology for a company that is not registered in Croatia, and not providing services to employers in Croatia. Article 57(1) point 11 makes that a purpose of residence. The money is high and it is written as a multiple rather than a sum: the government's Uredba asks a digital nomad for at least 2.5 times the average monthly net salary paid in Croatia the previous year, against 57 per cent for an ordinary temporary residence. Since NN 40/2025 the permit runs up to 18 months and may be extended once inside that window, and when it ends the applicant waits six months before asking again. The two consequences nobody puts beside the permit are what make it unusual: the Zakon o porezu na dohodak exempts the receipts a digital nomad earns from a foreign employer, and the health insurance Act releases them from the duty to join the compulsory scheme and leaves them paying their own medical bills. A person on this permit is inside the country and outside both systems.

CyprusVerified with official sourceMonitor - can change2026-10-11

Sufficient Resources and Full Medical Insurance, With No Schedule and No Committee

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Living in Cyprus on money from elsewhere is one of six categories of immigration permit in Regulation 5 of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, and the list is closed: no permit is granted to anyone who does not fall within one of them. Category F is the one for income. The Regulation asks for very little in its own words - a recommendation from the Immigration Control Committee that the applicant holds, absolutely and at his own free disposal, a secured annual income of the appropriate amount as set out in the First Schedule - and the Migration Department's published criteria then add three conditions the Regulation does not contain: that the income come from abroad, that it allow a decent living, and that the holder not engage in any business, trade or profession in the Republic. The two publications also disagree about the money. The First Schedule as the Office of the Law Commissioner prints it reads EUR 5,600 for the applicant and a pound sign before 2,700 for the spouse and for each dependant; the Department reads all three figures as Cyprus pounds and publishes them converted, at EUR 9,568 for the applicant and EUR 4,613 for each dependant. The permit itself is unusually strong for a first grant: the Department states the residence right is of unlimited validity, with a card that expires after ten years and is replaced. It lapses if the holder does not take up residence within a year of approval, and it is lost by acquiring permanent residence abroad or by two years' absence.

The Question That Has No Czech Answer for a Third-Country National Is Not Asked of a Union Citizen at All

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Czechia has no passive-income or self-sufficiency residence category. Section 30(1) of Act No. 326/1999 Sb. looks generous - a long-stay visa is granted to a foreign national who intends to stay for a purpose requiring a stay longer than three months - and the Act never lists what those purposes may be. Section 42(1) then converts that visa into a long-term residence permit after a year, but only while the same purpose continues. What closes the gap is not the statute but the Ministry of the Interior, whose portal says in terms that not every purpose can be a ground for granting a long-stay visa, and whose own index of long-stay visas and long-term residence permits names family, business, study, seasonal work, medical treatment, sport, research, culture, further education, investment, the intra-corporate transfer cards, the employee card and the blue card - and nothing for a person who simply has money. Money is still a condition of every one of them: section 31(1) requires evidence of the purpose, of funds under section 13, and of accommodation.

Sufficient Resources and Sickness Cover, Measured Against the Greek Minimum Pension and Declared Without a Figure

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Greece's route for someone who is not coming to work is paragraph 8 of article 163 of Law 5038/2023, the catch-all article of the Immigration Code: a residence permit of type I.8 for third-country nationals with sufficient resources, granted by the Secretary of the Decentralised Administration where the applicant has sufficient means at the level of a stable annual income to cover living costs. The permit runs for three years and is renewable for the same period. Family members may accompany the holder and the resources condition may be met by each of them separately or by all of them together. The permit gives no right to employment or to independent economic activity of any kind, for the holder or for the spouse or partner or the family. The amount is not in the statute: article 176(1) leaves the supporting documents for every category of permit to a joint ministerial decision, and the figure lives there. The nearest route with a number on its face is the digital nomad title of article 68, where the Code itself fixes sufficient resources at 3,500 euro a month.

The Union Answer To Living On Your Own Money, And Latvia Sets The Bar At The Poverty Line Rather Than At A Multiple Of It

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Article 27(1) of the Imigrācijas likums lists thirty-six grounds on which a foreigner may ask for a temporary residence permit, and not one of them is private means, rent, investment income or savings. Latvia's answer to the question is a long-term visa rather than a residence permit. Article 17(6) makes remote work a ground for issuing one, and it is written narrowly: the work must be for an employer registered in another member state of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or as a self-employed person registered in an OECD member state. Article 18(2) caps it at one year, allows exactly one further year, and then shuts the door for six months against a new long-term visa asked for on the same ground. Article 18(3) excludes citizens of the Russian Federation from a visa for employment or for remote work altogether, outside seasonal work. The visa is not a residence permit: it does not count towards permanent residence, because article 31(5) excludes from continuous residence any time spent in Latvia on a visa.

LithuaniaVerified with official sourceStable2026-10-10

The Only People Who Can Live Here on an Income Are the Ones Who Did Not Need Permission

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Article 40(1) of the Įstatymas dėl užsieniečių teisinės padėties is a closed list of the grounds on which a temporary residence permit may be issued. It runs from point 1 to point 16, with lettered insertions, and it contains no ground of means, savings, pension or passive income: the nearest things to it are the business routes of article 45, which ask for a company and a payroll, and the named-activity routes in the same article for a high-performance sportsperson, a performer, an accredited journalist and a cleric. Remote work appears in the Act exactly once, and in the opposite place from where a reader would look for it: article 58(17) says an alien has the right to work in Lithuania if he does not come to Lithuania and intends to work remotely under a contract with an undertaking operating here. That is a carve-out from the work-permit regime for somebody staying abroad, not a residence route for somebody arriving. The one group for whom an income is enough are the nationals of seven states named in article 40(1)(16) and article 49-5, who may be admitted for work or for any other lawful activity, self-employment included.

Sufficient Resources and Sickness Cover, with a Ceiling on What May Be Demanded

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Luxembourg's permit for someone who is not coming to work is the autorisation de séjour pour raisons privées in article 78 of the Act of 29 August 2008. Since the Act of 21 April 2023 gave article 78 its present wording, the first limb is not simply about having enough money: the applicant must be able to live on resources that come either from a professional activity carried on in another Union or Schengen state, or from an old-age, invalidity or survivor's pension paid by a Luxembourgish or other Union or Schengen social-security body. Income from a source outside that area does not answer the article as written. There is a second limb for someone whose personal or family ties make a refusal a disproportionate interference with private and family life, and that one is not about the geography of the money at all. Both limbs need sickness insurance and suitable housing, and both are applied for and granted before you arrive.

RomaniaVerified with official sourceMonitor - can change2026-10-10

No Digital Nomad Visa Needed, and the Means Test Falls From Three Average Salaries to the Guaranteed Minimum Income

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Romania has no residence category for living off an income from abroad in general. What it has is a digital nomad visa, added to Ordinance 194/2002 by Law 22/2022, and the definition is narrow: a foreigner employed by a company registered outside Romania who provides services through information and communications technology, or who owns such a company and works in it the same way. It sits inside the long-stay visa for other purposes, article 49(1)(f^1), and the money test is the hardest in this corpus: means from that activity of at least three times the average gross monthly wage in Romania, for each of the six months before the visa application and for the whole period written in the visa. The residence extension in article 69(1)(i) repeats it, adds that a company you own must have been registered for at least three years, and gives you six months at a time rather than a year, with a tax-office income certificate at every renewal. The reward is on the tax side: the Fiscal Code makes a digital nomad's employment income non-taxable in Romania and excludes them from the health contribution - but only while they stay under 183 days in any twelve months, which is the same line that makes everyone else a tax resident.

The Question Slovakia Has No Answer To for a Third-Country National Is Asked of a Union Citizen - and Capped at Two Hundred and Ninety-Five Euros

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Slovakia has no passive-income or self-sufficiency residence category, and the way the Act is built makes that a finding rather than a gap. Section 21(1) of Act No. 404/2011 Z. z. lists the purposes for which temporary residence may be granted and there are nine of them: business, employment, study, special activity, research and development, family reunification, service duties in civilian components of the armed forces, the status of a Slovak living abroad, and the status of a long-term resident in another member state. Section 20(2) then ties the residence to one purpose. The widest-sounding of the nine, special activity under section 25(1), is itself a closed list of nine named activities - lecturing, art, sport, a traineeship, a government or Union programme, a treaty obligation, health care, volunteering, journalism - and it opens by excluding a business person. The only long-stay permission outside those titles is the national visa in section 15(1), and its five grounds are an existing residence, a pending residence application, a language school of at least 25 hours a week, the interest of the Slovak Republic, and a treaty obligation. There is no tenth door. What the Act does ask of everyone who holds residence is money: section 111(1)(e) makes the holder prove, at a residence check, financial security of at least the subsistence minimum for each remaining month, up to a year ahead - 295.22 EUR a month since 1 July 2026, and half that for a minor.

SloveniaVerified with official sourceMonitor - can change2026-10-10

A Union Citizen Living on an Income From Abroad Registers on Means and Insurance, With No Multiple of the Average Wage in Sight

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Slovenia put a digital nomad into its Aliens Act rather than into a ministry's practice. Article 51.a of ZTuj-2, inserted by ZTuj-2I and in application since 21 November 2025, issues a temporary residence permit to a non-EU, non-EEA national who works remotely over communications technology for an employer or a civil-law counterparty established outside Slovenia, or who is self-employed abroad. The money test is not the ordinary one every other permit uses: instead of the basic amount of minimum income it asks for twice the average monthly net wage in Slovenia as last published in the gazette, which on the last publication, for July 2026, is 1,695.34 EUR a month and so 3,390.68 EUR a month. The permit is issued for the term of the contract and in no case for more than a year, and article 51.a(5) says it cannot be extended at all: the holder may apply again only six months after it expires. There is no other passive-income route - the purposes in article 35(1) and the categories in article 35(2) are a closed list and living on an income from abroad is on it only as this.
