Banco Popular Español, S.A. is a large banking group in Spain, established in 1926 under its current name. In addition to the national Banco Popular, it also owns several regional banks and foreign banks. The agreement has been facilitated through Popular Payments, connecting their credit and debit cards to the Spanish physical network, allowing customers to make payments at trade terminals.

The bank also emphasized that so far this year, the number of tourists arriving in Spain from various Asian countries has increased by 51%, with over 300,000 tourists last year averaging a spending of approximately 2,000 euros. This figure is derived from the per capita expenditure of Chinese tourists temporarily residing in Spain, which is three times that of European tourists.

As a leading tourist destination in Europe and the world, Spain receives more tourists each year than its national population. In 2014, the total number of tourists from both domestic and international sources reached over 60 million, with a significant portion coming from countries outside Europe. The tourism industry plays a crucial role in the overall national economy of Spain and is a key factor driving the rise in Spanish real estate. Therefore, this is an opportune time for investment immigration in Spain. Among the tourists visiting Spain, Chinese travelers generally do not limit themselves to Spain alone, as Spain is a Schengen country and part of the European Union, making it very convenient to travel to other countries from there.


Spain

Worldway immigration experts state that the cost-performance ratio of Spanish real estate is exceptionally high, with property prices currently having returned to the low point of 2004. The quality of housing is good, it is a tourist hotspot and a vacation paradise, with stable and high rental yields for both short and long-term rentals. Global buyers from Europe, China, and other regions are eager to invest in Spanish real estate, which offers high returns on investment. The quality of housing exceeds EU standards, with permanent ownership that can be passed down through generations. By purchasing property worth 500,000 euros, there is no need to provide proof of funds, allowing for immigration processing and access to 26 Schengen countries. The immigration process for the whole family is short, fast, with no rejections, and requires only a visit every two years. This makes property investment immigration in Spain highly popular.
