| Income requirement | DIMAS has two subcategories. The guaranteed-income route requires age 55+ and qualifying guaranteed pension/annuity or interest income; the specified annuity/interest tests require at least AWG 50,000 gross annual yield, subject to source-country/bank rules. The without-guaranteed-income route requires proof of AWG 100,000 per year from qualifying assets/investments or rental income.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Savings requirement | For the without-guaranteed-income category, DIMAS's July 2025 checklist requires an original bank statement showing average annual balance of at least AWG 100,000 from qualifying rent or assets held at specified recognized financial institutions. This is distinct from the guaranteed pension/annuity subcategory.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Investment requirement | No separate property purchase or fixed investment amount is published. Under the without-guaranteed-income category, qualifying investment/assets may need to generate or support the required AWG 100,000 annual amount; the guaranteed-income category has separate pension/annuity/interest criteria.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Renewal | The guaranteed-income permit may be extended in one-year periods if the same eligibility conditions continue.
