Spain's Golden Visa grants non-EU investors residency and a path to citizenship — with access to Schengen Europe and immediate family members included.
The year Spain opened its doors to non-EU investors through the 'Investors Residency' legislation.
The Spanish government created legislation in 2012–2013 providing residency and citizenship to non-EU investors — known as the 'Investors Residency', or the 'Golden Visa'.
It is a quick route to residency and citizenship, granting access to Schengen Europe and the rest of the world.
How the programme worksLive and travel freely across 26 Schengen countries — one residency, an entire continent within reach.
Premium real-estate and investment opportunities, selected for investors who expect lasting value.
A route to Spanish nationality and an EU passport — securing your family's place in Europe for generations.
Immediate family members can be included in the same application — residency for the people who matter most, from day one.
Non-EU investors can invest in a range of modes and receive residency or citizenship over time — a programme designed around flexibility, not relocation.
A second residency that provides the freedom to live in the investment country without needing to become a fiscal resident, while travelling throughout Schengen Europe.
