The Golden Visa is a special residence visa granted by Spain to non-EU citizens who make a significant investment in the country. The most common investment is a real estate investment of at least €500,000, although other types of investments, such as business investments or financial assets, may also qualify.
The Golden Visa allows the holder to live and work in Spain, offering access to the European Union and its benefits, including free movement within the Schengen Area. It is particularly popular among international investors who want to secure residency in Spain without having to stay in the country full-time.
This visa is valid for an initial period of 2 years, after which it can be renewed for 5-year periods, as long as the investment is maintained. One of the main advantages is that it allows the holder to reside in Spain without the requirement of continuous presence, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy the quality of life in Spain while maintaining international business or personal ties.
Additionally, family members of the applicant, such as spouses and children under 18, can also obtain residency, making this visa particularly attractive for families looking to relocate to Europe.
