Blue Card minimum income 2025: how salary requirements have changed in the EU 

The following table shows the current minimum income requirements for the Blue Card in the EU countries for the year 2025. In addition to the current values, the previous year's requirements are also shown in order to visualise the changes. The difference is shown both in euros and as a percentage.

For the study, an online search was carried out to determine which regulations apply to the minimum income required for the Blue Card. The European Commission's immigration information portal served as the main source. The data was submitted to the authorities of the respective countries with a request for correction if the result was incorrect. They were informed that if no response was received within five working days, the results from the main source would be used. For figures in currencies other than the euro, the exchange rates of 5 March 2025 apply. Where different minimum salaries were given depending on qualifications, the lower value was chosen. The comparative values from 2024 were researched last year. The Blue Card minimum income is calculated differently in the various countries. Malta was excluded from the ranking due to the difficulty of comparison. Ireland and Denmark do not offer a Blue Card.
