Attaining Permanent Residency and Citizenship in Spain
After five years of residence, individuals can seek permanent residency in Spain. Citizenship applications are viable after a decade of continuous full-time living. While the golden visa, a temporary residency permit, can be conveniently renewed without residing in Spain, the journey to secure both permanent residency and citizenship mandates the investor and their family to dwell within the country. Hence, Spain's Golden Visa program is favoured by applicants seeking full-time Spanish residence or a secondary European residency without a direct route to citizenship.
