Income thresholds for a Spanish residence permit in 2026

Basis	Applicant	+1 family member	+ each additional
DNV	200% SMI ≈ 2 849 €/мес	+75% SMI ≈ 1 069 €	+25% SMI ≈ 356 €
NLV	400% IPREM = 2 400 €/мес	+100% IPREM = 600 €	+100% IPREM = 600 €
Student	100% IPREM = 600 €/мес	+75% IPREM = 450 €	+50% IPREM = 300 €

IPREM 2026 = 600 €/мес (frozen), SMI 2026 = 1 221 €/мес (14 payments = 17 094 €/год; the DNV is based on the annual figure: 200% = 34 188 €/год ≈ 2 849 €/мес). Dates that affect the rules: the golden visa was abolished on 03.04.2025 (Ley Orgánica 1/2025), the new Reglamento has been in force since 20.05.2025.

All 2026 figures and thresholds — income for each basis, government fees and processing times — are gathered in a single table. The data is current for 2026.

The NLV can be proven not only with monthly income but also with savings: 400% of the IPREM per year (≈ 28 800 €) plus 100% of the IPREM (≈ 7 200 €/год) for each family member.
