The Ministry of Inclusion has revised the financial criteria of renewing residences as of February 2026. In the case of the remote workers who are nearing the two-year mark, now the renewal process depends on justification of a given earning base. The headline number of 2026 is actualized at €2,540, which represents the 200 percentage computation of the base salary index (SMI) adjusted.
The main issue faced by the applicants is not only to make the money, but to record it properly in the standards of UGE-CE.
In order to get your extension, you will have to prove that your working relationship is sound. Law enforcers need a Certificate of Coverage or evidence of Social Security payments. Crucially, you must submit a fresh letter from your employer (or clients) confirming that your remote work authorization remains active and indefinite. This document should be dated in 30 days of your application.
The amount of € 2,540 is applicable only on the main applicant. In case of renewal with family, the computation is different..
The 2026 revision is the same tiered structure, where it requires an extra 75% of the SMI to have a spouse and 25% per child.
The renewal is closely linked with your tax footprint. You are not renewable in case you have not been spending a year in the country more than 183 days. Authorities will cross-reference your application with Agencia Tributaria records to ensure your fiscal residence is established in Spanish territory.
Yes, though UGE-CE is more comfortable with regular monthly deposits. When using savings, a lump sum of amount that will cover the complete renewal period (2 years) should be presented which will amount to about 61,000 Euros in the case of single applicant.
Generally, no. Provided that you have not traveled to any other country, a sworn statement of a criminal record having no history is usually welcomed, but it is better to demand a Spanish one (Certificado de Penales).
Consistency is key. When you have one bad month, give a cover letter of the variance. Nevertheless, the average in the previous 6-12 months should pass the mark.
The UGE-CE is legally given 20 working days to make a decision. Unless they reply within this time period, then the renewal is deemed to have been approved through administrative silence (silencio positivo).
