Golden Visa Spain: Ensuring Your Successful Application

Spain is known for its high quality of life, beautiful landscapes, rich history, and pleasant climate, making it an attractive destination for those seeking a safe and comfortable place to live. 

As an investor into Spain’s Golden Visa Program, you do not need to have visited Spain prior to making an application. After you submit the application, you will need to visit the country to provide your biometric information. Additionally, our team of experts will guide you through every step of the process to ensure a successful golden visa application.

Golden Visa Spain: A Route to Permanent Residency by Investment

Obtaining residency in Spain allows investors to diversify their investments internationally, potentially reducing risks associated with economic or political instability in their home country. After 10 years on your Spanish Golden Visa you can apply for Citizenship in Spain, which offers one of the world’s strongest passports, with visa free access to the United States, Canada, EU, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and many other regions.
