The Ley Orgánica 1/2025 was published in the BOE and eliminated Spain's Golden Visa ("Visado de Residencia para Inversores") from 3 April 2025 — ending the €500,000 real-estate-investment residency route that had run since 2013. Existing holders and applications lodged before 3 April 2025 continued to be processed under the previous rules.
Prospective investor-residence applicants; existing holders retain their status until renewal.
