My income as a digital nomad has dropped: how does it affect my residence and its renewal?

If your income falls below 200 % of the SMI, you do not lose the residence automatically, but renewal may be at risk.

Routes to consider

For renewal, income over the whole period is assessed, plus 75 % of the SMI for the first family member and 25 % for each additional one. Savings or other liquid funds in your name can cover the difference. Keep payslips or invoices and bank statements for the whole period. Digital nomad permit renewal

A point to check carefully

Separate regular income, savings and transfers between your own accounts. Collect evidence of their source and your dependants.

Documents to get started

  • Full passport and current authorisation, if any.
  • Contracts and evidence of the foreign employer’s or clients’ activity.
  • Remote-work permission, income evidence and social security coverage.
  • Timeline of entries, departures, applications and notifications.

How we proceed

  • Assessment: confirm the route and competent authority.
  • Preparation: collect and review evidence specific to your case.
  • Filing: check forms, fees and representation.
  • Follow-up: monitor notices and explain the decision and next formalities.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start?
