What is the Golden Visa?

The Golden Visa for Spain was created to encourage foreign investment in the country. The visa entitles the holder and their family members to reside in Spain and travel through the Schengen area without an ordinary visa.

The Golden Visa also offers an easy and quick renewal process and other benefits such as the right to work and study in Spain. 

The application for a residency visa lasts often between 10 and 15 days. It is issued for two years and can then be renewed for a further five years provided the investment is maintained.

Spain Golden Visas are typically granted to those who purchase real estate in the country or invest in local companies.
