Spain: An Ideal Place to Settle, Set Up Business and Invest in Property
Spain is one of the most attractive countries in Europe for anyone looking to settle, set up a business or invest in property — thanks to its excellent climate, rich culture, high quality of life and accessible costs. At Mi Casa Europa, we manage your residence, company formation and property investment journey end to end, transparently and reliably.
Important Update on Spain's Golden Visa Programme
Spain's Golden Visa programme was discontinued for new applications on 3 April 2025 — it's no longer possible to apply for Spanish residence through the Golden Visa route. Property is not the only path to Spanish residence, however. With 25 years of experience, we'll help you find the residence or investment route that best fits your profile and plan it with you step by step.
