Spain Overview
In 2023 Spain introduced a new residence by investment program – Spain Golden Visa. Spain Golden Visa allows non-EU citizens, who make a significant investment in Spanish real estate, invest in a company or create employment opportunities, to receive a residence permit for two years. As long as you maintain the investment, residency can be renewed indefinitely with no stay requirements. This opens opportunities to run a business in the EU, travel the Schengen zone visa-free and receive Spanish citizenship in 10 years.
The Spain Residence by Investment Program is ranked 7th out of 26 programs on the 2023 Global Residence Program Index.
