Golden Visa · transitional rules
New investment Golden Visa applications are no longer accepted from 3 April 2025. Buying a property does not itself grant residence.
We distinguish cases covered by transitional rules from new applications under other residence routes. Approval is not guaranteed.
Investor or family visa or residence applications submitted before 3 April 2025 may be processed under the rules in force on their submission date. We review submission evidence and case status; an earlier purchase or appointment is not a submitted application.
Visas and authorisations valid on 3 April 2025 remain valid for their granted term. Renewals follow the rules in force when the initial authorisation was granted, subject to requirements and deadlines. Each family member's position must be reviewed individually.
Without an earlier application covered by transitional rules, we assess non-lucrative residence, international remote work or highly qualified professional mobility according to your profile. These are not automatic replacements and a property purchase alone is insufficient.
Submission date and evidence, decision and visa or permit validity, investment and family documentation. For another route: employment, income, insurance and immigration status. Do not send sensitive documents through the initial form.
Consultation: €50. Engagement fees after a feasibility review; official fees excluded. The €50 is deducted if you instruct us.
