How does Spain realize house purchase immigration?

Since the beginning of this year, China's investment immigration boom has been heating up continuously, and this fire has spread all the way to Europe on the other side of the ocean. Since the opening of the "Golden Visa" on 20 13, Spanish investment immigration projects have become more and more popular. At present, the Spanish immigration program has become the first choice for many domestic high-net-worth immigrants.

So, how did Spain achieve housing migration? Because Europe and China are far apart, it's not convenient to look at the house back and forth. Therefore, Bian Xiao sorted out the following frequently asked questions about Spanish immigrants, hoping to help you who are preparing to immigrate to Spain.

Q 1: which city should Spanish housing immigrants choose?

A: Actually, the specific choice of a city needs to be weighed according to personal preferences and specific needs. As far as Spain is concerned, the living conditions in most cities are excellent. There are Spanish first-tier cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, exotic southern cities such as Granada, and many coastal cities with pleasant scenery such as Alicante.

It is worth noting that China is a rapidly developing country, and its buildings are updated rapidly, while Europe usually does not destroy the original buildings. This is why many China people who study or live in Europe say that they actually live in a "European village".

Q2: What are the houses in Spain like?

A: The United States and Canada are vast and sparsely populated, so houses are often hundreds of square meters. European countries are different. Their population density is quite high. Cities are generally dominated by apartments, and single-family houses and villas are distributed in the suburbs, which is not an imagined large-scale villa.

The number of second-hand houses for sale in Spain is much higher than that of new houses, which is different from that in China. Europe advocates protecting the original features of cities, and houses will be renovated regularly but will not be demolished. So you can often see a scene in Spain. Although the surrounding houses seem to be being demolished, the wall facing the street will not be demolished, and it is still the same. The government also encourages developers to do so. If you demolish the whole building, you will pay high taxes.

Most of the new houses are hardcover, and some furniture and basic household appliances have been equipped, so they can be moved in immediately. Second-hand housing is old and new, which is generally difficult to introduce. In the suburbs, you can also choose villa-style independent apartments, which are generally high near the coastline. There are also a few "super villas" in the market where Barcelona stars live, and customers who are "rich and willful" can also consider it.

Q3: One person moving, family moving?

A: Yes. At the same time, the 500,000 main applicants for housing migration can also apply for the residence in Spain of their spouses, 18-year-old children or 18-year-old unmarried children without financial resources, and the parents of the main applicants.

Question 4: What is life like in Spain?

A: Most people in China still don't know much about Spanish. Besides the traditional matador and Barcelona Real Madrid, Spain has countless charms. Every year, Spain receives the third largest number of tourists in the world.

Spaniards know how to enjoy life. They go to the seaside in summer, ski in winter, and have various recreational activities on weekends. Despite the economic downturn in recent years, the bars and shopping centers on the street are still crowded. Prices in Spain are much lower than those in other European countries. Many things are cheaper than those bought at home. The most important thing is that there is no smog and there is basically no traffic jam. Text description is limited, so you need to experience it yourself.

Q5: How to apply for an investor visa after buying a house?

A: After the property is transferred and the title certificate is obtained, the applicant must apply for a D visa from the Spanish Consulate in China. The visa obtained by 500,000 immigrants is valid for one year.

Q6: Can immigrants who invest 500,000 euros engage in business activities?

A: In the past, this visa only allowed immigrants to live in Spain and could not engage in commercial activities. On July 30, 2005, the new investment immigration law 20 15 was promulgated, which relaxed many policies, including 500,000 gold visas to engage in business activities.

Q7: What tax will be generated when buying real estate in Spain?

A: New houses generate value-added tax, while second-hand houses generate transfer tax and stamp duty. It is worth noting that these taxes will be different in different parts of Spain, but the difference is not big. After you get the title deed, you need to pay the government land tax every year. The specific price depends on the regional location and housing area. In addition, there will be a property management fee, which also depends on different properties, generally 50- 100 Euro/month.

Q8: Can I work after investing in immigration?

A: The bill stipulates that 500,000 holders of residence cards for investment immigrants can work.

Q9: How to change my residence?

A: The residence holder of 500,000 immigrants who purchase houses is a "2+5+5" policy, that is, they can apply for investment residence valid for two years for the first time after purchasing houses, and change it to five years after two years. After five years, they can obtain permanent residency and apply for Spanish citizenship after five years.

At present, the Spanish economy continues to improve, and investors including many domestic investment coffees come to bargain-hunting. It is expected that Spanish real estate prices will continue to rise with the economy. By buying a house to immigrate to Spain, you will get multiple returns such as European immigration status and property appreciation in the future.
