Having a home on the Spanish coast has many advantages: the sun, the sea, good weather… and the best advantage for foreigners is the possibility of obtaining a Golden Visa. Haven’t you heard of it? The Golden Visa is a special residence visa for investors who acquire a property or make an investment in Spain.
If you obtain this permit, you can live in Spain for up to a year, except if you acquire a property with a deposit contract, in which case the duration is 6 months. Once the year has passed, you can apply for a Residence Permit, which is valid for 2 years and can be extended.
The good life on the Spanish coast at your fingertips.
