Golden Visa Guide

Residency by investment in the Costa del Sol and Spain

Longer stays and permanent residency in Spain

Designed not only as a magnet for foreign investment but also as a solution for visitors wishing to stay more than 90 days within a 180-day period, the Spanish Golden Visa program is a bridge for non-EU nationals who dream of spending long, uninterrupted seasons under the Spanish sun.

This investor visa program grants not just the privilege of longer sojourns but also the potential of permanent residency and a pathway to citizenship.

Residency Duration and Path to Citizenship:

  • Initially, the visa allows one to live in Spain for one year.
  • Post this, one can apply for a residence permit which allows them to live in Spain for two years, renewable for another two years.
  • After living in Spain for five continuous years, it is possible to apply for a long-term residence.
  • Citizenship can generally be applied for after 10 years of residency. However, it’s important to note that residency via the Golden Visa program doesn’t require one to live in Spain full-time. Thus, if the applicant spends less than six months a year in Spain, the 10-year route to citizenship will be longer.
