| Income requirement | From 1 April 2026, PMLP lists the standard EU Blue Card remuneration benchmark as EUR 2,723 per month (1.5 times the prior-year average gross monthly wage). For a Cabinet-listed profession with a significant labour shortage, the lower current benchmark is EUR 2,178 per month. Salary alone does not establish eligibility; the job must also meet the highly qualified employment requirements.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
