This Investment /Residency Visa will allow the applicants to reside in Spain, initially, for a one year period. During this period, the applicants will only need to enter Spanish territory once. In addition, holders of these Visas will be able to travel around the Schengen territory for 90 days every 180 days (3 months every 6 months). A key value of the new regulation is that, after one year, applicants will be entitled to apply for residency permits which will enable them to live and work in Spain for an additional two years. Moreover, they will be in position to apply for European residency to live and work in other member states of the European Union.
Initially, interested individuals have to apply for an investment/ residency visa at the Spanish Embassy in their home country. At this stage, the applicants will have to prove having made an investment of 500,000 Euros in property or having obtained shares from Spanish companies with a minimum value of 1,000,000 Euros. Presenting the documentation in the correct form is a complicated and time consuming process as applicants are required to present a number of translated and legalized documents regarding their personal and economic situation.
