Spain Entrepreneur Visa

spain entrepreneur visa: Do you wish to set up a business in Spain and obtain permanent residency? Spain Entrepreneur Visa program is for those investors, entrepreneurs, experienced professionals, researchers, and innovative workers who want to develop their entrepreneurial business activity in the country and attain residence permits and their families. The residence permit is granted for two years with a provision for renewal as long as you set up your business in the Spanish country.

The entrepreneur visa rule was implemented in 2013, modeled after the entrepreneur programs of other developed countries. In the early 1970s, countries like Canada and Australia began attracting entrepreneurs who could bring innovative business ideas and concepts that would help generate new jobs in the economy. It offers a fast-track immigration route known as Ley de Emprendedores.

Like the Spain Startup Visa, you can apply with your spouse, minor children, or dependent ascendants who will also be allowed to work legally.
