Golden Visas
Golden Visas are privileged residence and work permits that allow for non-EU citizens who comply with special requirements to opt for a faster and easier application process with greater benefits than other residencies. Some of the main advantages of the Spanish Golden Visa are that the holder does not have to spend a certain amount of time in Spain to maintain it. In case of a Golden Visa, the Consulate has to decide within 10 working days and in case of a residence permit, the administration has 20 working days to issue a resolution. Some of the main advantages of the Portuguese Golden Visa are that the holder only has to spend a period of 7 or more days, in the first year, and 14 or more days in the subsequent years in Portugal to maintain it. All holders of a Golden Visa can travel to any Schengen country without requiring a Schengen Visa. Furthermore, every Golden Visa comes with a work permit for the whole territory. At Consult Immigration, we have the legal and financial expertise required to successfully achieve your Golden Visa residency. Get in touch with us to find out how we can assist you with your Golden Visa.

Non-Lucrative Visa & Residency
For many non-EU citizens, the dream of acquiring residency in Spain or Portugal has been shattered by the belief that it is simply too difficult, or impossible. It’s easy to get confused and discouraged by the numerous residency options available, and the complex legal requirements of each. The reality is that it’s far easier than one might think! The lesser known and most achievable residency permits for non-EU citizens are the Spanish Non-lucrative Residency Permit and the Portuguese Passive Income Residency Permit. The requirements of these types of residency permits hinge largely on the applicant’s ability to prove that they can sustain themselves financially for each year that they hold the temporary residency. Benefits of these residency permits include the ability to travel to all Schengen countries without requiring a Schengen visa, and eligibility for permanent residency and citizenship. After 5 years of temporary residency in Spain, you can apply for Permanent Residency, and after 10 years of residency, you can apply for Spanish Citizenship. After 5 years of temporary residency in Portugal, you can apply for Permanent Residency or Portuguese Citizenship. Consult Immigration deals with Non-lucrative and Passive Income Residency applications on a daily basis. Let us assist you!
