VISA RESIDENCY FOR PROPERTY INVESTORS

The legislation granting non-EU nationals the Spanish residency via property investments has now officially been made law.

The residency visa will:

  •   Initially entitle foreigners buying properties for €500.000 or more to stay in Spain for a maximum of one year.
  •   Entitle investors to obtain a further two-year Residency permit, renewable every 2 years as long as the investment threshold of €500,000 is maintained. The amount of 500.000€ must stay invested in Spain in cash the whole duration of your visa.
  •   Enable investors to travel without a visa within the 26 Schengen Country zone.
  •   Allow family re-unification. The spouse and children under 18 can apply for residency too at the same time as or after the initial application.

 

There is currently no minimum stay period in Spanish territory, but the holder of the Spanish Residence Permit must travel at least once to Spain during the period preceding each renewal.

Procedure, requirements and documents:

The application for the Residence Visa must be submitted to the competent consulate of Spain in the country where the foreigner lives and the following documentation will be needed:

  1. Photocopy of all pages of the passport.
