Spain Residency

Spain has historically offered residency through investment under its Golden Visa framework, providing access to a high-quality lifestyle and one of Europe’s largest economies.

Program Description

The Spain residency-by-investment program has traditionally allowed non-EU nationals to obtain residence through qualifying investments, particularly in real estate. However, recent regulatory developments indicate that the program may be subject to significant changes or restrictions, particularly regarding real estate investments.

Requirements

• Where applicable, qualifying investments have included €500,000 in real estate, €1,000,000 in company shares or bank deposits, or €2,000,000 in government bonds

Residency Conditions

• Initial residence permit typically valid for 2 years and renewable
• No minimum stay requirement to maintain residency
• Family members may be included

Processing Time

Applications may benefit from accelerated processing, with approval stages typically around 20 working days, subject to administrative timelines.

Citizenship

Applicants may become eligible for citizenship after 10 years of residence, subject to physical presence requirements.

Conclusion

Spain remains an attractive jurisdiction, although applicants should carefully consider ongoing regulatory developments when assessing this route.
