# Residency options after Spain’s Golden Visa (closed since April 2025)

Important and factual: Spain’s Golden Visa (residency by investment) was abolished on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025, and no new applications are accepted. Spain never offered citizenship by investment. The good news is there are strong, live routes to living in Spain — and investment-migration options in other countries — and we’ll match you to the right one.

## What’s included

- Honest briefing: why the Spanish Golden Visa is closed
- Digital Nomad Visa (remote workers & freelancers)
- Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) for the financially independent
- Entrepreneur and self-employed routes
- Partner referrals for investment migration abroad (Portugal, Greece, Malta, Caribbean)
- A side-by-side comparison for your goals

## Questions about this service

### Can I still get a Spanish Golden Visa?

No. The programme was abolished on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025 and no new applications are accepted. Anyone claiming otherwise is not being truthful. We’ll show you the routes that do work.

### What’s the closest live alternative in Spain?

For most people it’s the Digital Nomad Visa (if you have qualifying remote income) or the Non-Lucrative Visa (if you’re financially independent). We’ll tell you which fits.

### Does Spain offer citizenship by investment?

No — Spain has never offered citizenship by investment. Some other countries do offer residency or citizenship by investment, and we can refer trusted partners for those.
