Spain Residency Benefits
Obtaining a permanent residency in Spain will open new opportunities to the investor and transform their life.
A Path to EU Citizenship
A Spain golden visa allows the investor to apply for permanent residency in Spain. If you wait another 10 years after that, you can apply for Spanish citizenship. This is one of the easiest paths toward European citizenship through an investment program.
A ‘Safe Haven’ for your family
Spain enjoys a politically stable climate with a growing economy. As an investor, you and your family are not obligated to live in Spain, but have the possibility to live there whenever you need to.
New Business Opportunities
For business owners looking to expand into the European market, a Spanish residency will create new opportunities. With Spain’s membership in the European Union, you can set up a business in the country and trade across the EU.
Access to Healthcare and Education
Golden Visa holders have access to Spain’s healthcare system and can enroll their children in Spanish schools and universities.
Property Ownership
As a Spain Golden visa holder, investors have the opportunity to own property in a European country, which can serve as a vacation home, rental property, or future retirement residence.
Why Spain
