FAQ
Common questions.
Is the Spain golden visa still open?
No. Spain stopped the investor visa and investor residence permit on 3 April 2025. Organic Law 1/2025 emptied the investor articles (63 to 67) of Law 14/2013.
What happens to people who already have it?
Permits valid on that date stay valid for the time they were issued for, and renewals follow the rules in force when the first permit was granted. Applications made before that date are decided under the old rules.
What are the other ways to live in Spain?
