Does Spain still offer a Golden Visa?

Spain's Golden Visa, which granted residence in return for qualifying property and other investments, was repealed by Organic Law 1/2025 and stopped accepting new applications on 3 April 2025, a change driven mainly by housing-affordability concerns. Existing holders can generally keep renewing under the previous rules, but the investment-for-residence route is no longer open to new applicants. People looking to move to Spain now use other routes instead — most commonly the Digital Nomad Visa, the Non-Lucrative Visa, the Highly Qualified Professional permit, the Entrepreneur route, or a standard work-and-residence permit.
