Program:

Spain implemented the Golden Visa Scheme in 2013 to support entrepreneurs and internationalization. The Spain Golden visa program is a great opportunity to make this country’s your habitual residence, especially if you want to invest in property.

Following an investment of €500,000 into Spanish Real Estate the process for obtaining a Spanish golden visa is relatively straightforward and quick.

Applicants, who will need to be non–EU residents, are required to have:
– A clean criminal record
– Sufficient funds and healthcare to cover their stay
– No previous Schengen visa refusals

Process:

– First, contact La Vida for advice on Spain and other golden visa programs to establish the most appropriate option for you and your family.

– Visit Spain to view real estate options and select your investment appointing a lawyer to take care of the conveyancing on your behalf. Through Power of Attorney (POA) the purchase can be completed at the notary in your absence.

– Once the real estate investment is complete you can then apply for the golden visa.
This can be done in Spain or from your consulate and typically takes no more than one
month for the initial one year temporary visa to be issued.

– You are then able to visit Spain to complete the golden visa application and obtain the residency permit, which is issued initially for two years. This can be renewed every five years providing you maintain your investment.
