Why was the Spain Golden Visa programme cancelled?
Spain's investor residence route under Law 14/2013 is closed to new applications from 3 April 2025.
The cancellation applies to the former investor route under Law 14/2013. Pre-cutoff applications and existing valid authorisations require separate legal review. Historical investment thresholds should not be presented as current application options.
Other residence pathways after closure
Other residence routes may exist in Spain or elsewhere in Europe, but they are separate programmes with their own requirements. They are not continuations of the closed Spain investor route.
