No fixed income minimum
Modest by comparison: an income test with no fixed minimum.
Since Law 6984/22 there is NO statutory minimum income or bank deposit for residency; applicants show 'real and regular' lawful income — practitioners advise demonstrating ~US$1,300/mo (plus extra per dependent). Temporary residency (renewable) converts to permanent after ~21-24 months; citizenship after 3 years of permanent residency. Territorial tax = 0% on foreign income; no minimum physical-presence requirement.
