According to Spanish media reports, since the Spanish government passed relevant decrees at the end of 2013 to start issuing the "Investor Residence Visa," by the end of 2016, a total investment amount of 2.15 billion euros has been attracted, of which 72% was real estate investment, mainly from China (714 people) and Russia (685 people).
During this period, the Spanish immigration bureau approved a total of 27,301 people (based on family units) to obtain legal long-term residence status in Spain. For overseas applicants, the easiest way to obtain permanent residence in Spain is through investment, such as investing in real estate, financial projects, or company projects, in exchange for the "Investor Residence Visa."
According to data released by the Spanish Ministry of Commerce, in 2016, the number of people investing in Spain through the "Investor Residence Visa" quadrupled, with 72% of investors choosing to invest in real estate. In 2016, a total of 2,236 people went to Spain to invest, of which 2,097 invested in real estate. Among the overseas investment groups for the Investor Residence Visa, Chinese and Russian investors are the largest buyers, accounting for 720 and 640 people respectively.
Since 2013, Chinese wealth has flowed into Spain, with investments from Chinese individuals in real estate, financial, and business projects bringing a total investment of 716 million euros to Spain. Among these, the investment in real estate reached 489 million euros. Data also shows that overseas individuals purchasing property in Spain tend to prefer locations such as Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, and Alicante.
Experts from WorldWay Immigration stated that the reason the "Investor Residence Visa" in Spain quadrupled in 2016 was mainly due to the favorable conditions relaxed in 2015. In 2015, Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy modified the terms, not only relaxing restrictions but also allowing immigration for three generations, leading to a large influx of investors into the Spanish market. On the other hand, benefiting from the recovery of the Spanish economy, Spain's economic growth is leading in Europe, making investors very optimistic about the appreciation potential of Spanish real estate.
Currently, through WorldWay Immigration Group, investors only need to purchase real estate worth over 500,000 euros in Spain to quickly apply for Spanish residence permits for three generations, obtain EU status, enjoy the generous benefits of EU citizenship, embark on a path to an international quality of life, and the property also has the characteristics of value preservation and appreciation, achieving both immigration and investment.
