About Spain
Spain is considered one of the most attractive European destinations for investors seeking residency within the European Union, offering a strong economy and a high quality of life.
The Spain Golden Visa program, launched in 2013, was designed to attract foreign investment by granting residency to non-EU investors in exchange for qualifying investments, particularly in real estate or economic projects within Spain.
However, the Spanish government has announced the termination of the Golden Visa program linked to real estate investment starting in 2025.
Despite this, there are still alternative pathways to residency in Spain, such as the Digital Nomad Visa and the Non-Lucrative Visa, which allow individuals to reside in Spain and benefit from EU residency advantages.
