Calculator
Not immigration or legal advice. These are the minimum amounts written in the official rules on the date we checked them. Requirements change, and consulates and immigration offices can ask for more or assess your documents differently: always check the official page or ask the consulate before you apply.
Family members
Family members: The D8 rule on the Ministry's page sets only the applicant's amount. Accompanying family members must show means under Ordinance 1563/2007, art. 2(2) (a per-person scale: +50% of the RMMG per further adult, +30% per child), but the Ministry does not say how this combines with the D8 amount: ask the consulate.

- Family members: see the note in the calculator. We do not add a family amount to the D8 figure because no official text says how to combine them.
