One verified scale, two programmes
IND publishes both the Highly Skilled Migrant and family-reunification thresholds on the same official page — both figures were verified in the same fetch.
What the process consists of
Besides sponsor income, proof of the relationship and, typically, a basic civic-integration exam abroad are required.
How the process runs
A good fit if

Frequent questions
Why does the site explicitly mention the outdated €2,294/mo figure?
Because that amount still circulates on third-party sites and could mislead — the site explicitly states it does not match the current official 07–12.2026 period, rather than just quietly ignoring it.
Is the same scale used for Highly Skilled Migrant?
Yes — IND publishes both thresholds (HSM and family reunification) on the same official page, and both figures were verified via the same direct fetch.
How often does the income threshold change?
Twice a year — 1 January and 1 July, alongside the full IND income-requirement scale.
Who can be reunited under the base route?
A spouse/partner and minor children. Parents and other relatives are not formally covered by this route.
Is a civic-integration exam required?
Typically yes, a basic exam must be passed abroad before filing MVV documents — specific country exceptions are not covered on this page.
When do children get independent status?
After 1 year of residence, provided this occurs before the child turns 18.
