Digital nomad: foreign work, not local employment. €3,500 net monthly income; +20% for a spouse, +15% per child.

Documents for this route

• Passport, application and photo; criminal-record certificate, medical certificate and insurance.
• Remote-work declaration, overseas contracts/company records and income evidence.
• For family: marriage and birth records, accepted legalization and translations under consular requirements.

Order police certificates from the required countries. Check whether validity is measured from issue, entry or filing. Prepare birth, marriage and name-change records; check apostille or consular legalization, treaty exemptions and translation requirements. An apostille and a translation are different procedures.

Leave a tailored power of attorney with a trusted person: specify banks, property, document collection and representation. Confirm each institution will accept it, any substitution authority and expiry. Do not hand over banking passwords.

Choose teaching language and confirm a school place before the neighbourhood. Ask separately about school buses and summer programmes.

Check each family member's residence, work and study rights separately. Children may need custody documents, the other parent's consent specifically to residence, school records and vaccination history. Pet preparation depends on departure, transit, airline and destination veterinary rules.
