The Spanish government introduced the Golden Visa program in 2012. It allows non-EU citizens to get a residency permit in Spain, if they purchase a property worth more than \u20ac500,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-EU nationals who want to pursue a professional or personal life in Europe, should consider the Spain Golden Visa Program. You can live, study, and work in Spain while holding a Golden Visa. After five years of temporary residence, you can submit a permanent residency application in Spain. Also, if you have been a legal resident of Spain for ten years and meet the specific criteria,\u00a0 you can then apply for citizenship through the naturalisation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its introduction, the Golden Visa Program has been very popular among the Non-EU citizens. According to research conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/tranio.com\/articles\/golden-visa-in-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tranio,<\/a> the Spanish Golden Visa was in fact in high demand in Europe, in terms of market growth in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Golden Visa acquisition decreased in 2022 , Spanish visa popularity remains high and continues to increase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Spain Golden Visa Criteria<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Spanish Golden Visa Program, there are different types of investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can invest either \u20ac500,000 in real estate, \u20ac2 million in Spanish government bonds, or \u20ac1 million in Spanish company stock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you meet the following criterias, you are eligible to apply for a Spanish Golden Visa:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are not residing in Spain illegally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have health insurance, either public or private, arranged with a Spanish company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must be at least 18 years old.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have enough money to pay your personal and family expenditures during your stay in Spain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must not have a criminal record.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can provide documentation to prove you are the owner of the property.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00b7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can pay the visa fee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9697 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-08-25-at-10.09.14-300x201.jpeg\" alt=\"Barceloneta Beach on a sunny day\" width=\"593\" height=\"398\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-08-25-at-10.09.14-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-08-25-at-10.09.14.jpeg 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Golden Visa in Barcelona<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you get a<\/span><em><strong><a title=\"How do you get a Golden Visa?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casamonainternational.com\/en\/for-sale\/golden-visa\/_idc:3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Golden visa<\/a><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Barcelona?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of obtaining a Barcelona tourist visa, these are the Golden Visa requirements to get one in Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barcelona can be a wise area of investment if you&#8217;re considering<\/span><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casamonainternational.com\/the-buying-process-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> buying<\/a><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an investment property in Spain.

Under the Golden Visa, you and your family have legal access to public resources, including public schools and health care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant advantages of Golden Visas is its preferential treatment. With these visas, you can process renewals every two years and the initial, immediate grant, which is good for one year<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, possession of a Golden Visa grants you freedom of movement throughout the Schengen area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Spain Golden Visa and Taxes<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are not required to pay income tax if you do not live in Spain full-time. If you remain there for more than half the year, you are considered a resident (more than 183 days).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, suppose you have bought a home in Spain, regardless of your residency status, you must still pay the applicable taxes, such as municipal and rental income taxes.
