Most refusals are over small details, not income
The most common reasons — worth checking before you file:
Padrón does not match
INSS builds your household from the empadronamiento. An old or incomplete padrón is the No.1 reason for refusal.
Household listed wrong
Someone extra included or someone left out — it changes both the right and the amount.
Income differs from the tax office
INSS cross-checks with AEAT. If figures differ, the higher one is used.
Residence out of date
For non-EU: the TIE must be valid on the filing date; otherwise you need a resguardo.
No payment and no sign-up
- A check of your right to IMV for your household

Common questions
Can I work while receiving the IMV? +
Yes, and since 2026 it pays better. RD 240/2026 (in force 27 March 2026) leaves the first €6,000 of annual earnings entirely out of the IMV calculation, and above that exempts €6,000 plus 50% of the excess — 55% where a disability or single-parent supplement applies. The INSS applies it automatically from tax data at the annual review; you do not have to ask for it.
Can a foreigner get it? +
Yes. Spanish citizenship is not required — you need legal and actual residence (for non-EU, a valid TIE) and household income below the threshold.
Do I need a digital certificate? +
No. You can apply without one — through the IMV portal «sin certificado digital», uploading documents and a photo of your ID.
How long for a decision? +
Up to 6 months. If there is no reply, the law treats it as a refusal (silencio administrativo) and the appeal deadline starts. Silence is a deadline, not a «yes».
