Golden Visa

Since the birth of the Golden Visa in 2013, non-EU citizens have been able to live in Spain, giving them European citizenship. If you and your family want to live or work in Spain and you’re from outside of the EU, the Golden Visa is needed. This also allows the holders to move freely within the Schengen area. In order to be granted the Golden Visa you must first meet one of the following conditions:

• The purchase of a property or properties of a value greater than 500,000€.
• The acquisition of shares in Spanish companies of an amount greater than 1,000,000€.
• The purchase of Spanish Government bonds of an amount greater than 2,000,000€.
• The creation of business projects of general interest.
• A Deposit of at least €1,000,000 in Spanish bank accounts.

The first investment must be mortgage-free, therefore you must have the required amount in cash.

You must also adhere to the following criteria:

• Not living illegally in Spain.
• Be over 18 years old.
• Not have a criminal record in Spain or in countries where you have resided during the previous five years.
• Your entry must not have been refused in any of the Schengen countries.
• Possess Private or Public Healthcare Insurance contracted with an insurer authorized to operate in Spain.
• You have financial means to support yourself while in Spain.

At first, you obtain the Golden Visa for a two-year period. It is renewable every two years even if you haven't visited the country a single time during this period. Citizenship can be obtained after 10 years.
