RESIDENCY THROUGH INVESTMENT
Spanish residency through investment
The service
The residency through investment scheme has been introduced by the Spanish government in order to encourage inward investment into the country during a difficult economic period.
The government wishes to stimulate the property market and making residency concessions for significant investment in the market has proven to be a high profile scheme.
GB Abogados offer an all-inclusive service, which includes both the residency application and the handling the investment. Most of our clients make their investment in residential property.
How does it work?
The scheme, also known as the Golden Visa, applies should a non-national purchase a property for a minimum of €500,000.
The purchaser must invest €500,000 in clear funds; for instance if the property is purchased for €750,000, then €250,000 can be via mortgage finance and the remainder in cash.
The purchase will enable the individual to receive a one year Visa which is renewable for every 2 years. The property ownership should be unchanged to ensure successful renewal.
Other residency schemes are available aside from property purchase. These include schemes for investors, qualified workers and entrepreneurs setting up businesses in Spain.
