Golden Visa in Spain: Live and Work Freely
Keith from Target Property Spain and Alex Redford from My Lawyer in Spain recently explored the Golden Visa, a residency option for non-EU nationals investing €500,000 or more in Spanish property. Introduced in 2013, the visa has become increasingly relevant to British buyers post-Brexit.
Key Benefits
- Residency Flexibility: Spend just one day per year in Spain to renew.
- Work Eligibility: Holders can live and work in Spain without restrictions.
- Family Inclusion: Covers a spouse and dependent children under 23.
- EU Travel: Access the Schengen Zone for 90 days within any 180-day period.
Investment Options
- Residential or commercial properties (minimum €500,000, owned free of mortgages).
- €1 million in a bank account or investment in Spanish companies.
Application Process
The process is straightforward and faster when completed in Spain, granting an initial two-year visa versus a one-year visa if applied from abroad. Documents required include a clean criminal record certificate, medical certificate, and proof of ownership or investment.
Why Choose the Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa offers unmatched flexibility, minimal residency requirements, and the ability to work, making it ideal for families and professionals seeking a base in Spain.
