Cost and proof planner

Plan filing costs before you open a case

Compare source-backed government fees for the live routes, keep prep estimates separate, and reuse the published proof rules before you move into eligibility, documents, or booking.

This planner does not merge official fees with unsourced prep estimates. If a government fee varies by route, mission, or applicant situation, it stays marked as variable.

Choose a live route

Pick one of the current live countries and add dependents only where the official fee source clearly supports it.

This updates source-backed dependent fee behavior only. Proof-of-funds guidance remains the threshold registry language below.

Official Government Fees

Every fee block below keeps its source label, URL, and verification date visible.

Official fees stay separate from prep estimates on purpose. This page avoids a single blended total when part of the cost is only an estimate or must be confirmed with the filing authority.

Estimated Prep Costs

These are planning ranges or quote-required items for insurance, translations, legalization, and route setup. They are not government fee totals.

  • Prepaid private health insurance for one year

    €500 - €1,500

    The Malta file requires qualifying insurance after approval in principle.

  • Accommodation proof upgrade or lease setup

    Quote required

    Residency Malta reviews the accommodation evidence after approval in principle, so exact housing-proof costs are applicant-specific.

Current prep planning range: €500 - €1,500

Prep estimates exclude rent deposits, living costs, and any premium entry-visa services.

Proof-Of-Funds And Filing Notes

This section reuses the shared threshold registry instead of inventing a bank-balance calculator.

Main threshold

EUR 3,500/month equivalent

EUR 42,000/year gross

Threshold last verified

2026-04-21

Shared threshold registry source date

Formula
Minimum gross yearly income of EUR 42,000 for the main applicant.
Proof period
Guaranteed income source for at least 5 cumulative months from the application date, reviewed case by case.
Family caveat
Eligible family members can be included, but the official FAQ does not publish a standard dependent income add-on. Housing, insurance, and civil documents are reviewed.
Filing caveat
Work for Malta-based companies or individuals, directly or indirectly, is ineligible. Final proof also depends on qualifying accommodation and prepaid health insurance.

Cost Estimator FAQ

Why doesn’t the planner show one grand total?

Because official filing fees and prep estimates do not have the same certainty. The planner only combines official totals when the whole government-fee stack is source-backed and stable for that route.

Does the dependents input change the income-proof formula?

Not automatically. The dependents input only affects clearly sourced dependent fee behavior. Proof rules still follow the shared threshold notes, which often explain family treatment as a caveat rather than a fixed add-on.

Why are some official fees marked as variable or route-specific?

Some routes use mission-specific reciprocity tables, quarterly consular fee updates, or separate route tracks such as Czech Digital Nomad Program versus Zivno. The planner labels that variance instead of inventing a fake fixed total.
