What Real Options Exist Today for International Professionals
For years, the Golden Visa was one of the best-known ways for non-EU nationals to settle in Spain. But immigration frameworks evolve, and since 2025 this investment-based residence permit is no longer open to new applications.
This change has raised many questions.
The good news? Spain remains open to international talent — just through different, more professionally aligned pathways.
At Alter Ego Relocation, we guide international professionals and companies through every step of the process. Contact our team and let’s structure your move to Spain the right way.
The focus has shifted from passive investment to active professional contribution.
Today, the most relevant options are linked to:
Employment-based residence permits
Highly qualified professionals and executives
Corporate transfers
Entrepreneurs and business projects
In other words, Spain is prioritising real professional activity and long-term integration.
Without the Golden Visa route, choosing the correct legal pathway requires careful evaluation from the very beginning.
Your profile, your role, your company structure, and your family situation all matter. A well-structured plan avoids delays, unnecessary costs and uncertainty.
Relocation should feel clear and secure — not improvised.
Moving to Spain is more than obtaining authorisation. It is about building continuity — professionally and personally.
At Alter Ego Relocation, we help international professionals and companies understand the current legal framework and choose the pathway that genuinely fits their project. We work closely with specialised partners and coordinate every stage so that the process is coherent, compliant and smooth.
Our goal is simple:
To replace uncertainty with clarity.
To replace complexity with structure.
And to ensure that your move to Spain is sustainable from day one.
Because in international mobility, confidence comes from knowing exactly where you stand — and what works today.
