The annual total is the comparable number, not the monthly income. Countries ask for wildly different things — a salary, a bank balance, both, or nothing at all — so a monthly threshold on its own cannot be ranked against another one. The annual total is twelve months of the income a country asks you to prove plus any balance it asks you to hold. It is a yardstick for comparing countries, not a bill: the savings are money you keep.
Where the law names no figure, this says so. 7 of the 54 open programmes ask for “sufficient means” and set no amount, so a consulate decides. Those rows read no fixed amount rather than borrowing a number a guide invented. A further 6 set no income test at all, which is a different answer to a different question.
Every figure carries its source and a grade. Income, residence, paperwork and cost of living were each researched separately and each names the statute or government page it came from, a confidence level, and the date it was last checked — on that country’s own page, one click from its name. An empty field means nobody has checked it, never that the answer is no. How these figures are made.
