Spain

Gateway to Europe Through Investment

The Spain Golden Visa Program offers non-EU nationals a fast-track route to residency in one of Europe’s most desirable countries through a qualifying investment. Introduced in 2013, this program enables investors and their families to live, work, and study in Spain—with the added benefit of visa-free travel across the Schengen Area.
