Frequently asked questions

Is having money deposited enough?

A balance may help demonstrate financial means, but does not necessarily replace evidence of the source of your own income.

What amount is required?

Means of subsistence follow legal benchmarks and also depend on the household. The amount must be confirmed for the year and consulate of the application.

I work remotely for a foreign company. Is that D7?

That activity may fall under the remote work visa. Compare the grounds before choosing.

Initial review

Do you have a pension or income of your own?
