Visa d'or pour l'Espagne

Spain Golden Visa Overview

Spain launched its golden visa programme in 2013. An investment of €500,000 in real estate will gain family residency. The Spanish investor visa can be renewed every two years. After five years it is possible to gain permanent residency and after ten years citizenship. It is not necessary to live in Spain to retain and renew the residency visa permit.

Spanish Golden Visa Benefits

The main benefits of Spain’s Golden Visa are undoubtedly the speed at which a residence permit is issued and the comparatively low cost of renewal. Spain is naturally compared to its neighbour Portugal and the undoubted success of the golden visa programme there. And while at €500,000 the real estate investment amount is now almost double that of the Portuguese programme there is considerably more choice as to which real estate can be purchased in Spain, with no restrictions other than the minimum investment limit.

Permanent Residency and Citizenship in Spain

It is possible to apply for permanent residency in Spain after living in the country for five years. Citizenship can be applied for after living full time for ten years. Although the temporary residency permit (the golden visa) can be easily renewed without living in the country, the route to both permanent residency and citizenship requires the investor and their family to reside in Spain. For this reason, the Spanish Golden Visa programme is popular with those applicants who either wish to reside full time in Spain or simply maintain a second residency in Europe but without a path to citizenship. Investors looking for potential European citizenship are advised to consider the Visa d'or pour le Portugal program.
