Is this aimed at retirees, pensioners, financially independent people, passive-income holders or another profile?

The pathway is expressly aimed at retirees or pensioners. The applicant proves this profile with a retirement notification, retiree attestation, pension attestation, or other evidence of retiree status.

See recorded sources

Which types of income/assets are accepted according to the official source?

The official guidance accepts evidence of retirement or pension status and periodic funding of a bank account. Interior Ministry guidance requires a bank attestation in Madagascar. It does not identify other accepted income types or assets.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No exhaustive list of accepted income types was found.
  • No accepted asset categories were found.

What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the income or savings threshold and the family uplift.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the official sources (3bac972f2924166a, 4a0e11abbef30584, 9068b2ceee8aaeb1, 304fec5bb09c8adc, 2026 finance law) for a retiree income or savings threshold and a family uplift: none states an amount (only a bank attestation of periodic account funding, already cited by the protected R2). The EUR 500 figure appears only in the third-party IMI Daily record (a5ac8f2c1e677b09) and is not usable.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether the holder may work or do business and the family position.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The checked official sources do not establish local employment, business, self-employment, other economic-activity or accompanying-family rights for this route.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The entry stage is a one-month visa transformable and extendable into long stay. For a renewal, the Interior Ministry requires the last visa and resident card, and a criminal-record extract less than six months old issued by the Antananarivo court. The official source does not state the duration of the long-stay status, physical-presence obligations or a longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The duration of the retiree long-stay status is not specified.
  • Physical-presence obligations are not specified.
  • Long-term or permanent-residence progression is not specified.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
