Residence permit in Spain

Spain has had a proactive immigration policy in place since September 2013, providing several investment options for obtaining residency based on different residence permit programs, including receiving a temporary residence permit (TRP) and a permanent residence permit (PRP) afterwards.

Today a foreigner can take an advantage of the Spanish migration program for investors and receive a long stay visa by applying for a temporary residence permit at the Spanish consulate in the country of origin or residence. According to Permanent Immigration Observatory, the most popular way of relocating to Spain is applying for a TRP.
