Investor residency in Spain

Investment-based residency in Spain has changed materially. Rather than repeat outdated marketing, we assess your capital, activity and objectives against the routes that are genuinely available to you today.

Materially restricted. This route has changed materially. We confirm the current legal position before recommending anything.

Who this is for

  • Investors with capital allocated to Spain
  • Entrepreneurs establishing an operating business
  • Holders of existing investor permits considering renewal

Current legal position first

We confirm the status of each investment route at the time of your enquiry before recommending anything.

Entrepreneur and business alternatives

Where passive investment routes are closed, an operating business or professional route may achieve the same objective.

Existing permit holders

If you already hold an investor permit, we advise on renewal, on maintaining the qualifying investment and on transitioning to another status.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still obtain Spanish residency by buying property?
Property-based investor residency is no longer the route it was, and we will not present it as available. We assess what is open to you now and what alternatives achieve the same result.
What happens to my existing investor permit?
Permits already granted are governed by their own transitional rules. We review your grant and advise on renewal and on the safest long-term status.
