Formal requirements
Spain has announced the end of the golden visa in April 2025.
Other investment opportunities
On January 3, 2025, Organic Law 1/2025 was published, amending Law 14/2013 and eliminating investor visas (Golden Visa) starting on April 3, 2025. This will affect visas for foreign investors making significant investments in Spain.
What happens with existing visas and applications in progress?
Applications in process: Applications submitted before April 2, 2025, may continue under the current rules, provided the investment is made and registered before that date.
Valid visas: Visas that have already been issued will remain valid until their expiration date. Renewals may be made according to the rules in effect at the time the visa was granted, but if the renewal is denied, it will not be possible to apply for a new visa.
In summary, investor visas will be eliminated in April 2025, but applications already submitted and existing visas will remain valid under the conditions in effect before that date.
