GOLDEN VISA TO SPAIN

Yes, you can, as soon as you are legally in Spain whilst applying for this residence permit. If you do not need a visa to come to the Schengen Area, you cannot have exceed the maximum period to legally stay in Spain (according to Schengen requirements, like the 90/180 days rule).

You will be able to bring with you your spouse and children, as soon as these latter ones are minor children and/or are financially dependent on you and didn’t form a family by themselves by then. If the investment is not over €1 million and you are coming with your husband or wife, you must be in community of property (régimen gananciales).

The Golden Visa is for 1 year when applying from a Spanish Embassy or Consulate. However, the equivalent residence permit is for 3 years, when applying in Spain. All renewals are for 5 years.

According to the Spanish, the Spanish authorities  must take a decision within 10 days from the day of your application. However, please notice that preparing and collecting the required paperwork may take several weeks, so we recommend to arrange them even before coming to Spain, if possible.

If you meet the requirements and you follow our instructions, it should be accepted. At any event, you can apply more times if necessary.

Yes, you will (you and your family members).

One of the exclusive advantages of this visa is that you just need to come once per year to be able to renew it. Therefore, in comparison to the rest of visas, you will not need to stay more than 181 days per year in Spain to fulfil the renovation requirements.
