What the document holds

TSE compilation (171 pp.) of the 2012 Reglamento de Extranjería: definitions (investor: own capital in activities of economic and social interest), general fees and guarantee deposit, requirements for each temporary and permanent residence and special category (pensioners, rentistas, investors, workers, students, etc.), documentation and renewal. In scope: investor articles 87-93 (US$200,000 minimum in real estate, registrable goods, shares, securities, productive or national-interest projects; US$50 application fee; documents by investment type; forestry route with US$100,000 initial investment and a 3-year management plan; no paid work), art. 179 (fees on approval: Law art. 251 amount, US$30 + US$30, US$25 a year, guarantee deposit) and art. 223 (renewal every two years with proof of the investment). The US$200,000 threshold was already recorded; fees, forestry route and renewal added. Other categories (pensionado, rentista, etc.) are not investment routes and are out of scope. No statistics. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
