How to Get a Golden Visa in Spain as a Filipino in 2024

For Filipinos looking to relocate abroad, Spain’s golden visa program offers an excellent pathway to residency and eventual citizenship in the European Union. As a Filipino immigration lawyer in Spain, I assist clients interested in obtaining this visa through real estate investment. In this post, I’ll provide an overview of Spain’s golden visa, explain why it’s a great option for Filipinos, and share how I can help you navigate the application process.

What is Spain’s Golden Visa?

Spain’s golden visa grants residency rights through property investment of €500,000 or more. It allows non-EU investors and their family members to live, work, and study in Spain. It also enables visa-free travel throughout the 26 Schengen Area countries.

After maintaining your investment and renewing your temporary residency for 2 years, you’re eligible to apply for Spanish citizenship. As a former Spanish colony, Filipinos enjoy a shortened residency duration requirement of 2 years to apply for Spanish citizenship.

Spain’s real estate investment threshold is lower than other European golden visa programs, making it accessible to more investors. You can buy one or multiple properties to reach the minimum. The real estate can be residential or commercial.

Why Spain is a Great Choice for Filipinos

Here are some of the top reasons to consider Spain’s golden visa program:

• Excellent quality of life – Spain is renowned for its warm climate, stunning beaches, vibrant culture, lively cities, and relaxed lifestyle. It’s a safe and family-friendly country.
• Access to the EU – You’ll have freedom of movement across Europe. Spain is part of the borderless Schengen Area so you can live or work anywhere within it.
• Education – You’ll pay lower university tuition fees across the EU. Spain has highly-ranked universities.
• Pathway to citizenship – Filipinos can apply for EU citizenship after 2 years of legal residency. This gives your family future educational and employment opportunities.
• Business opportunities – Spain has a robust economy and access to the massive EU single market.
