Why Spain

Spain ended its investor residency on 3 April 2025. No capital‑only route remains, but Spain is still reachable: the entrepreneur visa for a vetted innovative business, the non‑lucrative visa for those with passive income, and the digital‑nomad visa. We will point you to the closest alternative — often Portugal, Greece or Italy.

How it works.

One team from the first call to approval. Timings vary by program; Spain typically takes —.

01

Eligibility check

A confidential 30‑minute call. We assess your profile, family and goals, and confirm Spain is the right fit.

02

Cost plan and documents

A written all‑in figure — investment, government fees, due diligence and our fees — and a document list we prepare with you.

03

Submission and vetting

We file with the government unit and handle every query while your application is vetted.

04

Approval and permit

On approval in principle you complete the investment. We arrange biometrics and the residence card, and stay on for renewals.
