Invest and obtain Spanish residency. GOLDEN VISA, Very simple!
This article was born out of the need to answer our clients the common question, how do I get a Spanish residence as an investor? Here I provide a brief description of the most popular path used among our clients.
And yes, it is simple as the title of that article describes, living and working in Spain even bringing your family after obtaining a GOLDEN VISA, which we also call an investor visa. Different articles have already described it as the fastest way to obtain Spanish residency, which a priori would be for 2 years, and then renewing for 5 and then we would obtain permanent residence. This visa is intended for citizens from outside the European Union. In order to obtain Spanish residence in another way, we would have to go through very complex procedures, for that reason the GOLDEN VISA is so appreciated and popular by most investors, and to think that Spain is an ideal country for that purpose.
And what would be the advantages once I have obtained the GOLDEN VISA?
With this type of visa, the resident can work and live legally in Spain, in addition to requesting a residence permit for his family. Stay in Spanish territory is not required (only that you travel to the country at least once a year).
And what should I do?
For example, investing in a real estate asset worth more than € 500,000 or by investing in a business project.
And requirements that are asked to be fulfilled would be: Not to be a EU citizen, to be over 18 years old, the last 5 years have no criminal record, have medical insurance, (it can be private in Spain), have proof of sufficient funds, and after the investment, provide the documentation that proves it.
Due to its simplicity and ease of obtaining a golden visa, Spain stands out from the rest of the EU countries, since it is a paradise not only for its geographical, natural and climatological beauty, but also a paradise for GOLDEN VISA.
