The 2026 income reference
Spain's 2026 minimum wage is set at 1,221 euros per month. The international telework route uses 200% of the SMI as the reference for the main applicant.
Applicants should prepare the evidence in euros and focus on gross, documentable income rather than informal estimates.
What to prepare
- Employment contract or service agreement.
- Payslips, invoices or recurring payment evidence.
- Bank statements aligned with the income claim.
- Company authorization to work remotely from Spain.
- Professional background evidence.
When to request a case review
A review is especially useful when income is paid in USD, BRL or another currency, when the employer is in the United States or Brazil, or when the professional works through a company structure.
Perguntas frequentes
Is the amount checked in euros?
Yes. Even when income is earned in another currency, the application should be prepared with a clear euro reference and supporting documentation.
Can family members be included?
Family inclusion can be possible, but the financial threshold and documentation increase.
