The Spain Residence Program is an attractive option for investors. Launched in 2013, it doesn't require permanent residency in Spain to retain or renew the investor residency visa. The country remains a very popular destination for businessmen and corporates who wish to use the country as a springboard to gain access to Europe. At the same time, a family can enjoy a fantastic lifestyle with an excellent education system and first-class living standard. The Golden Visa may be obtained by 1) €250,000 investment in historic properties, 2) creating a company which employs 10 Spanish nationals through the initial 5-year operation, 3) a €500,000 purchase of a home/real estate property, or 4) a capital investment of €1,000,000 or more in a Spanish company/fund
