The Golden Visa Spain
Moving to Spain with a Spanish Golden Visa is no longer possible from April 2025
The Spanish Golden Visa was a way to achieve Spanish residency by investing € 500,000 in real estate or qualified financial investments, intended to attract entrepreneurs to Spain, promoting inbound investments in real estate and other qualifying financial assets. The program is currently discontinued. Please call us to discuss if you could qualify for a different visa.
If you are considering Spanish citizenship, Del Canto Chambers can help with:
- The initial assessment of your current situation
- Legal guidance to determine the next steps
- Application processing and follow-up.
- Permit renewal compliance

If you are considering investment via the Golden Visa in Spain you need to be very careful about the investments you select as the property market and stock and shares are particularly volatile during the current crisis. Our Spanish Golden Visa legal and tax specialists can give you advice on the realistic value of investments, maximise protection and tax efficiency, whilst ensuring compliance with all tax obligations and legislation in Spain.
The benefits of obtaining a Spanish Golden Visa include the ability to legally reside in the host country, access to public services, and in some cases, the eventual possibility of obtaining citizenship. The Spanish passport has been ranked as one of the top passports in the world. The Spanish Golden Visa may also offer the possibility of obtaining the Beckham Tax Rule and facilitating mobility within the Schengen Area in Europe, depending on the country.
The required investment amount to obtain a Spanish Golden Visa varies by country and the type of investment (In Spain from 500.000 Eur). In some cases, a significant investment in real estate, businesses, or financial assets may be required. It is important to review the specific requirements of each country to determine the exact amount needed.
The duration and process of ob a Golden Visa vary by country. Generally, temporary residency is initially granted, and over time, permanent residency or even citizenship can be obtained, depending on the program and country. The process typically involves submitting documents, verifying the investment, and meeting specific criteria.
