My salary is above the minimum before tax but not after: what income counts for digital nomad residence?

Gross income counts: the digital nomad minimum is 200 % of the monthly minimum wage (SMI) before tax and contributions.

Routes to consider

For each family member, add 75 % of the SMI for the first and 25 % for each additional one. If your earnings fall short, they can be topped up with savings or other liquid funds in your name covering the difference for the whole validity of the permit. Digital nomad residence permit

A point to check carefully
