7^th of January 2025

In a surprise move, the Spanish government approved last Thursday a 3-month grace period for Golden Visas.

Golden Visas were to end by the 1st of January 2025. In effect, the government extended Golden Visa applications during the first quarter of 2025. This was approved by Law 1/2025.

Concretely, the Golden Visa program now officially ends on the 3^rd of April 2025.

Never say never again.

During this three-month transition period, Golden Visa applications will still be accepted, and applications pending as of the effective date will still be reviewed normally.

Apply for your Golden Visa today through LNA. 100% visa success rate since 2013.
