Spanish Identity Number (N.I.E.)

Becoming resident in Spain, investing in Spain or just being appointed as Director of a Spanish company, requires an individual to be registered with the authorities using a resident identification number.

Obtaining this number is often a complex bureaucratic process; however, Door Open is able to act on the client’s behalf via a simple power of attorney.

Golden Visa

Spanish law enables non-EU nationals to obtain qualified residency permits in return for investing in Spanish real estate (and other qualifying assets). Spanish residency, and the ability to travel freely in the European Schengen area (for 90 out of every 180 days), is a major attraction for many non-EU investors. As there is no minimum stay requirement in Spain, the scheme is also attractive to individuals wishing to take advantage of the scheme’s benefits but preferring to maintain their residence in another country.

The following points must be considered before applying for this special VISA:

• The minimum investment must be at least €500,000 in Real Estate.
• Investments may be spread over several properties for a total purchase price of at least €500,000.
• Part of the investment can be financed by debt but at least €500,000 must be paid from own funds.
• Spanish residence visas will be issued to the immediate family of the client, including spouse or civil partner and children, allowing them to travel to other Schengen countries for up 90 days every 6 months.
• Children who have reached the age of 18 have to demonstrate that they are economically dependent, single and that they live with their parents.
• After obtaining the Golden Visa, the client and his family will have the right to work, study, or to start a business in Spain.
• After making an investment, the Golden Visa will initially be issued for a period of 2 years. Whilst the investment is maintained, application can be made to renew the visa for subsequent terms of 5 years.
• The investment can be sold upon becoming a permanent resident; application for this can be made after spending more than 183 days per year in Spain for 5 consecutive years.
