– Age:
-    Primary holders: The primary holders of the IMV must be 23 years of age or older (both for individuals and for household units).  There are specific cases in which primary holders can be aged 18 to 23, and even emancipated minors can be primary holders under certain circumstances.  These exceptions are explained below. 

-    Beneficiaries Beneficiaries can be of any age.

– Registration in the municipal register: 

In all cases, both the primary holder and all beneficiaries (all members of the household unit) must be registered in a Spanish municipality.

All members of the household unit must be registered at the same address. 

– Legal residence: 

In all cases, both the primary holder and all beneficiaries must have legal and continuous residence in Spain for at least one year prior to submitting the application (1 year). 

Exceptionally, the one-year residency requirement is not necessary for:

▪    Minors who have been incorporated into the household due to birth, adoption, family reunification of children, guardianship for adoption purposes, or permanent foster care.
▪    Women victims of gender-based violence. 
▪    Victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The following documentation can be used to prove legal residency: 

▪    Spanish citizens: Spanish national identity document (DNI).
▪    EU citizens residing in Spain: Certificate of registration as an EU national showing their identity number for foreign nationals (NIE), along with their passport or identity document from their country of origin.
▪    Other foreigners residing in Spain: Identity card for foreign nationals (TIE) containing the person's identity number for foreign nationals (NIE) and passport number.
▪    Women who are victims of gender-based violence and individuals who are victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation can prove their legal residency in Spain with the provisional residence permit (residence permit for exceptional circumstances).

- Other requirements for individual beneficiaries: 

Individual beneficiaries are people aged 23 or older who live alone and who:
-    Are not married, unless they have started the divorce or separation process.
-    Are not in a registered domestic partnership.
-    Do not belong to another household. Exceptionally, they may not live alone and share accommodation with another household of which they are not part. 

They must also meet the requirement of having lived independently: 

-    Individuals between the ages of 23 and 29 must have lived independently for at least two years prior to the application. Specifically, they must meet two conditions: 
o    Prove that their residence has been separate from their parents, guardians or caregivers for the last two years. 
o    Prove that during this period they have been registered with the Social Security, State Passive Classes or an alternative mutuality to the Special System for Self-Employed Workers for at least twelve months (consecutive or not).

-    Individuals over the age of 30 must provide proof that their residence has been different from that of their parents, guardians, or caregivers during the year immediately preceding the date of their IMV application. If cohabitation with parents, guardians or caregivers ended due to their death, this requirement does not apply. 
  
-    Exceptionally, the person is not required to have lived independently in the following cases:
o    If they have left their usual place of residence because they are a victim of gender-based violence, if they have initiated separation or divorce proceedings and in other very special circumstances. 
o    Women of legal age who are victims of gender-based violence or victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
o    Persons between the ages of 18 and 22 who come from residential centres for the protection of minors of the different Autonomous Communities, have been under the guardianship of Public Entities for the protection of minors in the three years prior to reaching the age of majority, or have lost both parents, provided that they live alone and are not part of a household.
o    Homeless people.

- Requirements for household units: 

A household unit is made up of all the individuals who have been living in the same household for at least six months before applying and share one of the following ties:
-    Marriage. 
-    Domestic partnership:

• The domestic partnership must have been officially registered for at least two years before the application. 
• The couple must have lived together continuously for at least five years before applying for the benefit.

-    Kinship up to the second degree by blood or affinity (parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws and siblings-in-law).
-    Adoption or permanent foster care.

The same person cannot be part of more than one household unit.

The IMV holder in a household unit must be at least 23 years old.

Exceptionally, the following may be holders, provided they have legal capacity:

-    Persons of legal age or emancipated minors when they have children or minors in foster care for the purpose of adoption or permanent family foster care.
-    Absolute orphans who are the only members of the household, none of whom has reached the age of 23.

The regulations provide for exceptional cases (special situations) in which individuals living in households with close relatives are not considered part of the household unit. Specifically:

a)    Victims of gender-based violence who have had to leave their home, either alone or with children or minors in their care.
b)    Individuals undergoing separation, annulment or divorce proceedings, or who have formally dissolved a domestic partnership, if they have had to leave their usual residence.  In the case of unregistered domestic partnerships, proof must be provided that legal proceedings for the custody and care of minors have been initiated.
c)    Individuals who have been evicted or have lost their home due to an accident or force majeure, as well as other regulated situations.

In cases b) and c), the person is considered an independent unit only for the three years following the event.

It also provides for these two special cohabitation cases: 

-    When people without family ties live together in a household, only those at risk of social exclusion, as accredited by social services or third-sector organisations, can be the holders of the IMV.
-    In the case of individuals registered in collective establishments or homeless, the household unit includes only the spouse or domestic partner and, if applicable, minor descendants up to the first degree (children).  In some cases, descendants up to the second degree may be included if they do not live with their  
first-degree parents.

– Employment status: 
-    The benefit is compatible with work, whether salaried or self-employed, as long as the household income does not exceed the established limits.
-    Persons of legal age or emancipated minors who are not working must be registered as job seekers.
-    Individual beneficiaries under 30 years of age must have been registered with the Social Security for at least 12 months, continuous or not, during a minimum period of two years of independent living before applying.

– Income: 
To determine the economic vulnerability status, the following is taken into account:
-    In the case of individual applicants: The person’s income.
-    In the case of household units: All members’ income.

The income requirement is met when the average monthly income of the previous year is lower (by at least 10 euros) than the guaranteed monthly amount of the IMV (corresponding to each individual or household unit situation). 
The amount of pensions and benefits, whether contributory or non-contributory, public or private, will count as income.
The table shows the annual and monthly income thresholds for 2025 depending on the beneficiaries of the household unit, for both non-single-parent units and single-parent units, which have higher thresholds.

The IMV is not granted when certain asset thresholds are exceeded, as it is considered that there is no economic vulnerability.  The primary residence owned is not included in the asset calculation.

This table shows the maximum asset values, excluding the primary residence, that individuals and household units can have, beyond which the IMV is not granted.
