Entrepreneurial visa: To stay or not to stay.

Why don´t you come to figure out whether Spain is a interesting  place to invest or not, and finally you stay...that´s the fact, entrepreneurial visa for those with a good project and willing to work.


Our lawyers are willing to tell you that Law 14/2013 on Support of the Entrepreneurship and its Internationalization introduced a new specific framework for investors, entrepreneurs and qualified non EU nationals based on an agile and specialized system for visa and authorization concessions to attract foreign investment and talent, in order to foster economic growth and create jobs. This, coupled with the Law 25/2015 on the Second Opportunity Mechanism which introduced several improvements to this framework made Spain even a better place to come and work in.

Main benefits are:

• A single authorization for living and working valid anywhere in Spain.
• Freedom of movements within the Schengen member states.
• Streamlined processing: 10 days for visas and 20 days for residence permits, combined processing for spouses and children, procedures can be arranged through a representative.

Our lawyers are more than happy to help, but it is worth mentioning that ICEX Invest in Spain, a official organism focused in attracting foreign investment, is able to provide free, professional and confidential immigration information and consultancy services for companies, investors and entrepreneurs to obtain residence and work permits. Jointly, we can work together in order to lead you successfully.
