  • Family members can join immediately and work freely
  • Mobility to other EU countries after 12 months of residence
  • Protection during unemployment (3–6 months, depending on duration of employment)

  • Standard: €5,688
  • Reduced: €4,551 (for applicants with a higher-education diploma or PhD obtained within the last 3 years)
