Corporate Migration

You can come to Spain and work as a self-employed person if you intend to carry out one of the following activities:

    • Promote a business (entrepreneur) in the interest of the economy.
    • Shareholder/partner in a company incorporated in Spain.
    • Freelance professional.

 

The entrepreneurs, before applying for a visa, will need a favorable report on the business and entrepreneurial activity intended to be carried out in Spain issued by Economic and Commercial Office in the applicant´s country of residence or the Directorate General for Trade and Investment.

The assessment will give special priority and consideration to the creation of jobs in Spain, the professional profile of the applicant, the business plan and the added value for the Spanish economy, in terms of innovation or job creation.

Those wishing to reside in Spain and to set up or acquire a company or work as a freelance that does not meet the conditions required for the Entrepreneurs authorization, have to apply for a work permit as a self-employed.

Individuals must meet the conditions in current legislation for nationals regarding opening and operating the planned activity (in addition to incorporating the company, individuals may have to follow other procedures, such as obtaining licences).

Applicants will have to prove that the estimated investment for the project is sufficient. There is no minimum investment amount indicated for this.

Employment Migration

There is a range of different types of Spanish work permits, as well as exemptions, depending on your future employment situation in Spain.

In most cases, a job will need to be arranged before you can apply for a permit to move to Spain.

After you have secured a job, your employer must request authorization – a work permit – for you to legally work in Spain. This will be granted if the job is listed in the Shortage Occupation List or if the vacancy has been advertised and there are no other suitable candidates already in Spain.

Once authorization to work has been granted, you can apply for a visa.

Permits are granted for specific sectors and geographic Spanish areas so it is usually possible to change jobs as long as you work in the same field and geographic area.

The work permit is valid for one year and it is a renewable permit that may lead to a Permanent Residence and Citizenship in the future.

Real Estate Migration

In 2013 Spain approved the new legislation for the Property Visa (called “Golden Visa”). The property visa grants automatic residency in Spain when you purchase property for 500,000€ or more. This can be any type of property: home, commercial, land, or a combination of properties.

As opposed to the non lucrative visa, the Golden visa does not require you to be in Spain 183 days of the year.

There are only a few requirements to qualify for this visa:

    • Not to have entered or stayed illegally in Spanish territory.
    • Have to be 18 years or over.
    • Not to have been refused entry in any of the Schengen countries.
    • Have public or private health insurance authorized to operate in Spain.
    • Have sufficient economic means to cover personal and family living expenses.
    • Proof of the investment must be made through a Registry of Property certificate attesting ownership. Or, if the ownership title is not yet registered, via a copy of the acquisition public deed and proof of filing the deed in the Registry.

Foreign investors will be granted, according to this Law, a residence visa for one year or a residence permit for two years. This residence permit is renewable and may lead to a Permanent Residence and Citizenship in the future.

We provide a global property visa service to perform all the legal work involved in the property purchase and the subsequent work to obtain residency in Spain; as well as guide you through the property selection.
