Last year, European countries showed a trend of tightening visa policies. From Ireland to Portugal, countries have either raised the visa threshold or closed the visa lane altogether. This has led many people to worry about whether they can find the best project in Europe to obtain European status. And the cost-effective Spanish non-profit visa is quietly popular in this context.
Spanish non-profit is a fast way to immigrate to Spain.
As early as 2011, the Spanish Royal Act No. 557 2011 officially enacted this program, allowing non-EU citizens to obtain Spanish residency by investing in Spain, in order to stimulate the local economy and generate tax revenue through consumption.
Although the term "investment" is mentioned in the bill, the core content does not require the applicant to purchase a property or purchase**, nor to create a job. On the contrary, for foreigners who wish to immigrate to Spain through non-profit projects, the key requirement is that they have sufficient financial means to cover the living expenses of themselves and their family members during their stay in Spain.
Allows non-EU citizens to settle in Spain on a long-term basis without workingNo investment, no need to buy a house, no language, no education, etc。Spanish non-profit immigration is allowed to be obtained by the main applicant, spouse and children together and can travel visa-free within the Schengen area of the European Union.
