Golden Visa expires on 3rd April
9 February 2025
Spain's Golden Visa program, which grants residency to non-EU nationals in exchange for significant investments, is set to be terminated on April 3, 2025.
Key Details:
Termination Date: The program will officially end on April 3, 2025.
Impact on Existing Holders: Current Golden Visa holders will retain their residency rights and can continue to renew their permits under the existing regulations.
Alternative Residency Option:
With the Golden Visa program ending, non-EU nationals seeking residency in Spain might consider the Non-Lucrative Visa. This visa requires applicants to demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves without working in Spain. It grants legal residence for one year, renewable for up to four more years, and after five years, holders can apply for permanent residency.
For those whose Golden Visas are expiring soon, it's advisable to explore alternative residency options promptly to ensure compliance with Spanish immigration laws.
