Who we help from Dubai
Built for Dubai entrepreneurs, executives and families.
Many people in Dubai and the UAE want a second base in Europe: more mobility, a European lifestyle and a calm place for the family. We help you choose the right Spain residency route and plan the move with licensed partners in Madrid.
Entrepreneurs & business owners
A European base for you and your company, with routes for remote income, investment or a new business in Spain.
Executives
Mobility between Dubai and Europe, a home in Spain and a lifestyle that fits your schedule.
Families
Schools, healthcare and safe neighbourhoods, planned around the residency route that fits your family.
We never guarantee a permit: every application is decided by the Spanish authorities.
Good to know
The Golden Visa is over.
Here is what works now.
Spain closed its investor residence, the Golden Visa, to new applications in April 2025. Buying property no longer gives you residency on its own.
The good news: there are still clear routes for professionals, business owners, families and students. The right one depends on how you earn your income and what you want to do in Spain.

Four ways to make Spain your base
Indicative 2026 figures. Your exact requirements are confirmed in your consultation with our legal partners.
| Route | Made for | Main requirement | Can you work? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital nomad visa | Remote employees and freelancers whose clients or employer are mainly outside Spain | Proven remote work and income of €3,000+ per month | Yes, remotely |
| Non-lucrative residence | People living from savings, rentals or investments | €50,000+ in savings | No local work |
| Entrepreneur / company | Founders opening a business, brand or franchise in Spain | A business plan assessed as innovative or of economic interest, plus funding | Yes, in your business |
| Student residence | Young people and their parents: university, master or language studies | Admission to an approved programme and proof of funds | Part-time, with limits |
Most routes allow you to bring your spouse and children. Requirements change; we always confirm them with the legal office before you apply.
