About the document
What it covers 14,576 'Golden Visa' linked to real estate 2013-2023; table of files (expedientes) resolved per year 2016 - 31 Jan 2024 with total and average investment; main nationalities and provinces.
Notes Press release. The Housing Ministry says it worked with data from the Economy and Inclusion ministries but does not define its counts. Its figures are much higher than the Foreign Ministry's consular visa counts given to Parliament (e.g. 2,017 vs 451 for 2022), which suggests they include in-country authorisations, renewals and/or family members; not explained in the source.
