Investor residence programme abolished for all investment classes

In force Residency

Ley Organica 1/2025 removed articles 63 through 67 of Ley 14/2013 from 3 April 2025. That ended the investor visa and residence programme as a whole, including real estate, public debt, company shares, funds, bank deposits and qualifying business projects—not only the EUR500,000 property route. Applications submitted before the cut-off and renewals of existing permissions are governed by the transitional provisions.

Who it affects

Prospective non-EU investor-residence applicants; qualifying pre-cut-off applications and renewals remain under transitional rules.
