Spain’s investor residence provisions were ended in April 2025. Prospects searching for a Spanish Golden Visa should now compare active alternatives rather than being funnelled into an obsolete product.
What changed
Spain removed the relevant investor residence provisions in 2025. A Spanish property Golden Visa is therefore no longer an active residence option.
Closest alternatives
Greece remains strongly property-led. Portugal remains attractive to clients comfortable with qualifying non-real-estate ARI routes. Malta and Cyprus are permanent-residence propositions; Italy and Hungary provide different investor-residence structures.
SEO opportunity
Keep an educational “Spain Golden Visa closed” page because prospective clients will continue searching for the old programme. Use it to explain the change and direct them to live alternatives.
