Are you eligible for residency via a Spanish Golden Visa?

In order to obtain a Spanish Residency permit by means of the Spanish Golden Visa scheme, you must be using at least €500,000 of your own funds for your investment to start with, however, above that threshold there is no limit to debt financing, for instance with a mortgage in Spain.

  • Buying Stock shares of a Spanish Company; in this case the amount rises to 1.000.000€ or more
  • Depositing 1.000.000€ or more in a Spanish financial company
  • Acquiring Spanish Treasury Bonds worth 2.000.000€ or more
  • Investing in business projects if you can prove that the business will have a positive effect in job creation, or make a social or economic impact, or represents a significant contribution to scientific and/or technological innovation
