With the Golden Visa, investors and their families can travel freely within the Schengen Area, comprising 26 European countries, without the need for additional visas.
Access to Healthcare and Education
Golden Visa holders have access to Spain’s public healthcare system and can enroll their children in Spanish schools and universities.
Path to Citizenship
After residing in Spain for five years under the Golden Visa program, investors and their families may be eligible to apply for permanent residency or citizenship, subject to meeting certain residency requirements.
