Spain’s Golden Visa program is designed to attract foreign investors by offering a residency permit in exchange for significant financial investment in the country. To qualify for the Golden Visa, applicants must invest in Spain in one of several ways, with the most common being purchasing real estate worth at least €500,000. Other investment options include business ventures, job creation, or government bonds.

One of the main benefits of the Golden Visa is that it allows investors and their immediate family members (spouse and children) to live, work, and study in Spain. The visa also grants access to other European Union countries, making it an attractive option for individuals looking for more mobility within Europe. After holding the Golden Visa for five years, investors can apply for permanent residency, and after ten years, they may be eligible to apply for Spanish citizenship, provided they meet the necessary requirements.
