Spain Golden Visa Program

The Spanish government launched its golden visa program in 2013 in an effort to boost the country’s economy. Foreign investors can now obtain residency for themselves and their families by investing €500,000 into real estate, which can be rented for income. The Spanish residency permit is granted for two years, and it can then be renewed for five years. The Spanish government does not require golden visa holders to live in Spain at all, and all family members will have the right to travel throughout the Schengen zone without any other visa applications. The renewal of the residency permit can be done online from anywhere in the world. After five years, golden visa holders can apply for permanent residency, but this will require them to have lived in Spain for at least six months of each year. After 10 years, it is possible to apply for citizenship.
