Limits of the record
  • Searched the MFA long-stay D-visa page for employee/freelancer/company-owner/remote-work eligibility; it only names the purpose "Teleworking (digital nomad visa)" in the funds table, with no profile definition.

What income threshold applies, how must it be demonstrated, and how does family affect it where stated?

For teleworking under the digital nomad visa, the page lists sufficient means of 132 euros per day, equivalent to 3,960 euros per month, for the applicant. It does not state a separate family amount for this purpose. It does not state how the income is proven.

Can family accompany? How long is the status granted and can it be renewed?

A long-stay D visa may be issued for a stay of up to 365 days within twelve consecutive months. Where two long-stay visas are issued consecutively, the whole stay may not exceed 548 days within 730 consecutive days. The official source does not state whether family members can accompany the holder or how the visa is renewed.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not state whether family members can accompany a teleworking D-visa holder.
  • The page does not describe renewal or extension of a teleworking D visa; it only caps the total stay under two consecutive long-stay visas.

What immigration-relevant tax/residence information is officially stated, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the official tax-residence information and longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the D-visa page for tax residence, long-term residence or permanent residence for teleworkers; only Schengen travel limits (90 in 180 days) appear, which do not answer R5.
