Summary

Sint Maarten’s pensioner residence category is for people who want to live there supported by a pension and sufficient means. The application needs an official pension letter, recent bank statements showing deposits and other relevant assets, a valid passport, and a recent good-conduct certificate. It does not publish a universal minimum age or pension amount in that checklist.

Eligibility

Applicants need an official letter from the pension authority or institution and recent bank statements showing pension deposits. Other assets may help document sufficient income. A certificate of good conduct issued within six months is also requested. The published checklist does not state a blanket age or income threshold; the government assesses the application.

  1. Official pension letter Obtain the authority or institution's confirmation.
  2. Bank evidence Show recent pension deposits and any other support assets.
  3. Personal records Prepare the current application and timely good-conduct certificate.

The published checklist gives no blanket minimum age or income threshold.

What This Route Allows

An approved permit allows residence in Sint Maarten for the authorized period.

What This Route Is Not

A plan to retire or savings without a documented pension does not by itself meet the published checklist. The permit does not automatically authorize work, permanent residence, or Dutch citizenship.

Next Steps

  1. Obtain your pension letter and recent statements showing deposits.
  2. Check the current document list and prepare the good-conduct certificate.
  3. Apply through Sint Maarten's immigration department.
