You can no longer buy property to qualify for Spain’s Golden Visa.
Spain closed its investor Golden Visa to new applicants in April 2025 — the property-for-residence route is gone. If a sunlit EU base with a path to residence is the goal, the live route today is Cyprus, with Greece as the Schengen alternative.
The route you searched for
is no longer the way.
Spain abolished the investor Golden Visa entirely — no new residence-by-property applications are accepted.
Remaining options (non-lucrative / digital-nomad visas) require relocation and income, not an investment that secures a home.
For investors who wanted Mediterranean property + EU residence, Spain is no longer available — but the same outcome is live next door.
Same goal. A route that’s open today.
Property that comes with EU residence for your family — still available, and arguably better, in two Mediterranean programmes we run end to end.
Cyprus
Permanent residence for the whole family, secured against €300,000 of new property — a fast-track, English-law EU island. Residence that comes with the home you buy.
- Property → permanent residence (Reg. 6(2))
- Whole family on one application
- No obligation to relocate
Greece
A full-Schengen Golden Visa still active via real estate — visa-free movement across the zone from day one, with thousands of islands and a fixed-cost non-dom tax regime.
- Property → Schengen residence
- Visa-free Schengen travel
- No minimum-stay requirement
