Gather proof of remote income — about €34,000/yr (200% of Spain's minimum wage) plus ~€13,000 for a spouse and ~€4,000 per child; thresholds rise when the minimum wage does
The DNV's means test tracks Spain's minimum wage rather than IPREM: the title's figures — about €34,000 a year, plus roughly €13,000 for a spouse and €4,000 per child — are the current expression of that formula, and they rise when the minimum wage does. Bank statements, contracts and payslips that tell one consistent story beat any single document.
