Spain Golden Visa
Answer: According to legislation ratified by the Spanish
Parliament in October 2013, Spain is offering a residency
visa also known as the "Spanish Golden Visa" to foreign
investors in an effort support the country's economic development.
New applicants will need to show an investment of at least EUR 500,000 in real estate in Spain, or transfer at least EUR 1,000,000 or create a duly recognized new business in Spain, or invest a minimum of EUR 2,000,000 into government bonds.
The Spanish Golden Visa Program is a ten year investment-based residence process. After ten years as a permanent resident the applicant is eligible for citizenship if desired.
Because the time to Spanish citizenship (EU passport) is quite long, this program has become less popular over the past few years. Unless the goal is to live in Spain, investors now favor the residency or citizenship by investment programs of countries such as Cyprus, Malta, Greece or Bulgaria, where citizenship may be obtained as quickly as 90 - 180 days.
