IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN AN INVESTOR'S RESIDENCE PERMIT
I've been approached with this statement three times this week – but it's not.
Therefore, it became apparent that clarifications needed to be published. Many people still confuse the concepts of a "golden" visa and an investor residence permit.
The "Golden Visa" used to be pasted into the passport and issued at the Consulate of Spain in Russia. It was an alternative to the Schengen visa and gave the right to stay in Spain for 365 days. Some property owners used it as an intermediate stage on the way to investor residency. At that time, the time scheme was as follows: 1-2-5-5 (one year "golden" visa; two years of residence permit; and all subsequent extensions of residence permit for 5 years)
An investor residence permit is issued in Spain (and not at the Consulate) and you can start the process from the moment you purchase real estate for a total of 500,000+ euros. If you have a Schengen visa, there is no need to paste a "golden" visa into your passport. In this case, the temporary scheme is as follows: 2-5-5 (the first residence card is issued for 2 years and then extended for 5 years each time).
At the moment, it is really impossible to obtain a "golden" visa at the Russian Consulate, but the issuance of investor residence permits in Spain continues, and our team is engaged in this on a daily basis.
