According to comprehensive news from WorldWay Immigration, on November 3, Santi Vila, the Minister of Planning and Sustainable Development of Spain, held talks with Zhou Enyong, the General Manager of the Marketing Department of Air China, to discuss the specific matters regarding the opening of the Barcelona to Shanghai route in the summer of 2016. The opening of this new route from China to Spain will provide more convenience for the increasing number of Chinese investors interested in investment immigration to Spain.

Currently, Air China operates four flights weekly between Madrid and Beijing, with a technical stop in Vienna. In fact, the establishment of the new route between Barcelona and China highlights the importance of Barcelona as a pillar city of the Spanish economy. Minister Vila mentioned in his speech, "In recent years, trade exchanges between Barcelona and Shanghai have been frequent, and the number of tourists has been increasing year by year. Opening a route between the two cities can effectively meet this market demand."
In 2014, over 84,000 passengers traveled on the route between Barcelona and Shanghai, requiring one or more transfers, resulting in lengthy travel times. It is reported that Shanghai has become the third largest destination in Asia for passenger throughput, following Tokyo and Seoul.
The influx of foreign capital is a significant driving force behind the rapid growth of the Spanish economy. After the outbreak of the debt crisis, the Spanish government adopted various methods to attract foreign investment, the most notable being the relaxation of immigration policies to attract foreign investors to invest in local real estate, which is the primary investment area for Chinese individual investors in Spain. It is even more encouraging that the implementation of the new investment immigration policy in Spain has made it shine on the European immigration stage.
According to immigration experts from WorldWay Immigration, the new policy extends the validity period for residence renewals, with no strict residency requirements. After the main applicant immigrates, their parents, as well as the parents of the spouse, minor children, adult disabled children, or adult unmarried economically dependent children can obtain residency simultaneously, truly achieving the benefit of one person buying a house while three generations benefit. Foreign nationals who are not Spanish citizens and plan to enter Spain for meaningful economic investment can apply for a residence visa.
With the increasing convenience of exchanges between China and Spain, coupled with the unique appeal of Spain's new immigration policy, 2015 is expected to see a surge in European property investment immigration. The attractive low property prices, combined with the coveted identity of a traditional capitalist country in Europe, make Spain's property investment immigration highly sought after, which will boost the trend of investment immigration to Spain.
