What this document is
“Solicitud de Ingreso Mínimo Vital” is the official form of Spain’s National Social Security Institute (INSS). The Ingreso Mínimo Vital (IMV) is a monthly state payment for people and families without enough income or assets; it tops income up to a guaranteed minimum.
You apply for yourself alone or for the whole household (unidad de convivencia) — the people who live together as a family. Residents of the Basque Country, Navarre and Catalonia cannot use this form: applications work differently there.
Who can apply
- people living in Spain lawfully and continuously for at least one year — including foreigners with a residence permit (the form asks for the permit type and dates);
- single applicants under 30 and aged 30+ answer different questions about living independently and contributions;
- the household’s income and net assets last year must be below set thresholds; if last year’s income was too high, from 1 April you can apply on this year’s income (sudden vulnerability);
- special situations (violence victims, divorce, eviction) have exceptions and are ticked separately.
How to apply
- online — at the Social Security electronic office, with or without a digital signature or Cl@ve;
- by post or at an INSS centre (CAISS) by appointment;
- if you refuse consent to data checks, you must bring the documents within 10 working days;
- payment only into a Spanish account held by the applicant.
How the form is laid out
Twenty pages: applicant, representatives and helping organisations, type of application, special circumstances, household members (up to 11, with Annex I), addresses and type of housing, financial situation, statements, IBAN, consents and signature; then INSS pages and instructions.
