Residence permits (Golden VISA) for non-EU citizens who purchase a real estate property in Spain

In September 2013 it came into force the Spanish law of entrepreneurship (Ley de Emprendedores), for the support to the creation of new enterprises. Pursuant to this law, residency in Spain is granted for non-EU citizens spending a minimum of EUR 500,000 on a real estate property purchase.
