Visas with no fixed income requirement
Some countries drop the explicit monthly test entirely:
- Argentina and Uruguay — only require proof of “regular income” or a sworn declaration of sufficient means.
- Anguilla — genuinely no minimum income; you just prove remote employment.
- Thailand — no monthly income, but a THB 500,000 (~USD 13,700) bank balance.
- Germany and Czechia — use a freelance-viability or lump-sum proof-of-funds test instead.
“No income requirement” is not the same as “easy”, though — see the no-income-requirement ranking for the catch.
Gross or net?
Watch this carefully: Estonia, Latvia and South Africa specify gross income; Hungary, Cyprus and Greece specify net. When unsure, prove the higher (gross) figure. Use the eligibility checker to see what your income qualifies for in one click.
Income thresholds change yearly (many track local wages). This is general information, not legal or tax advice — verify on the official government source.
