What is the Golden Visa?

Since the birth of the Golden Visa in 2013, non-EU citizens have been able to live in Spain giving them European citizenship.  This also allows the holders to move freely within Schengen area. In order to be granted the Golden Visa you must first meet one of the following conditions:

• The purchase of a property or properties of a value greater than 500,000
• The acquisition of shares in Spanish companies of an amount greater than 1,000,000€
• The purchase of Spanish Government bonds of an amount greater than 2,000,000€
• The creation of business projects of general interest
• Depositing at least €1,000,000 in Spanish bank accounts

The first investment must be mortgage-free, therefore you must have the required amount in cash.

You must also adhere to the following criterias:

• Not be living illegally in Spain
• Be over 18 years old
• Not have a criminal record in Spain or in countries where you have resided during the previous five years
• Your entry must not have been refused in any of the Schengen countries
