Golden Visa: Closing a Chapter, Keeping Our Commitment<\/h2>\n

On April 8, 2024, the Spanish Government officially announced the elimination of the investor residency regime<\/strong>, known as the Golden Visa<\/strong>. For over a decade, this visa allowed non-EU citizens to obtain Spanish residency through significant investments<\/strong>, mainly in real estate.<\/p>\n

With this decision, a key tool comes to an end\u0097one that attracted foreign capital<\/strong>, boosted the real estate market, and positioned Spain as a prime destination for high-net-worth individuals. The Golden Visa in Spain<\/strong> was the preferred route for those looking to settle in the country securely, long-term, and with free movement across the Schengen area.<\/p>\n

What Happens to Ongoing Applications?<\/h2>\n

Despite its elimination, two key points remain in place for those already in process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Applications submitted before the reform will continue as usual.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Renewals of existing permits can still be processed<\/strong> under the current legal framework.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Our Experience with the Golden Visa<\/h2>\n

    At Gentile Law<\/strong>, we have assisted more than 80 individuals in obtaining their Golden Visa, managed over 100 property transactions, and provided comprehensive legal support to families, investors, and professionals who chose Spain as their place to live and invest.

    What Are the Current Alternatives to Spain`s Golden Visa?<\/h2>\n

    Although new applications under this scheme are no longer possible, Spain continues to offer several legal residency options<\/strong>, each tailored to different profiles. Here are the most relevant ones:<\/p>\n

    1. Highly Qualified Professional Visa (PAC)<\/h3>\n

    For foreign employees hired by Spanish companies in technical, executive, or specialized roles<\/strong>. Ideal for multinationals, startups, or R&D centers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    2. Entrepreneur Visa<\/h3>\n

    Designed for individuals looking to launch an innovative business in Spain<\/strong> with economic, social, or technological impact. The business plan must be approved by ENISA<\/strong> or another competent authority.<\/p>\n

    3. Digital Nomad Visa<\/h3>\n

    An increasingly popular option for remote workers providing services to foreign companies<\/strong>. Allows residency in Spain for up to 3 years, with the option to extend. Perfect for combining work and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

    4. Non-Lucrative Visa<\/h3>\n

    For individuals with sufficient financial means<\/strong> to live in Spain without working. Popular among retirees or those with passive income<\/strong> seeking a lifestyle change.<\/p>\n

    5. Intra-Company Transfer Visa (ICT)<\/h3>\n

    Allows international companies to relocate employees to their Spanish branch<\/strong>. Valid for executives and highly trained staff.<\/p>\n

    6. Family Reunification and Other Personal Options<\/h3>\n

    Includes permits for spouses, children, and ascendants<\/strong> of legal residents, as well as other options based on family ties, legal status, or special circumstances.<\/p>\n
