  Additionally, regarding the no criminal record requirement, only proof of no criminal record from the countries where the applicant has resided in the last two years is required, with notarization and dual authentication. A personal declaration stating no criminal record in the countries of residence for the last five years is also acceptable. The old law required applicants to provide proof of no criminal record from the countries they had resided in for the past five years, along with notarization and dual authentication. It is evident that the new policy has relaxed certain requirements for applicants and simplified the application materials.

  The new policy further relaxes the requirements for applicants and extends the residency permit duration, representing significant positive news for investors. Currently, it is an ideal time to immigrate to Spain. Through the Spanish property investment immigration program, purchasing real estate starting from €500,000 allows three generations of the family to apply for Spanish residency status. This not only provides access to the beautiful landscapes and pleasant environment of a major tourist destination but also enables travel throughout the 27 Schengen countries, while enjoying Spain's numerous benefits in childcare, healthcare, education, and retirement.
