[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Until now, we have mostly covered ways to obtain Spanish residency via the EU, including ways in which someone, not being an EU Citizen, may live in Spain if married-to or in a registered stable relationship with an EU citizen.
We have never discussed, however, what happens if the ties you have to the scheme disappear. Do you have to leave Spain and the EU if you lose your ties to the EU Citizen that are keeping you in?

Generally speaking, any Non-EU citizen can enter the Schengen space either with a Schengen Visa, or just with their stamped Passport, and stay for 90 days out of every 180 days.
This means that the traveller can spend a total of 90 days at a time travelling through Schengen countries.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since the Brexit vote in June 2016, life has become very unpredictable for EU citizens in the United Kingdom.
Nerves have been rattled – and negotiations since the vote have not been going well, so EU citizens are still faced with many unanswered questions about how they can remain in the UK.
This is why many have predicted that the UK will experience an exodus of people and companies in 2018.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today we are taking a pause from our usual topics, which are mostly focused on the ‘proper’ ways to obtain residency permits for Spain, and will focus instead on some emergency mechanisms established by the Spanish Law that can allow foreigners under exceptional circumstances to stay in the country.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On paper, obtaining an immigration appointment sounds like one of the many steps one has to go through in order to be granted a residence permit – or another item related to immigration.
It looks like a really minor issue: since the focus of the application is on the documents and evidence one gathers, obtaining an appointment to get everything finalised should just be a formality, right?
Most of our usual readers already know that the most common answer to any Immigration Law question is “it depends”.
And today we are bringing you yet another one of those cases. Will you get interviewed or questioned in any way at the Embassy or Consulate when you apply for your residency permit for Spain?
Same answer as always.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today we are addressing one of the main aspects of the Golden Visa for Highly Qualified Professionals, which is the possibility for “graduates and post-graduates of universities and business schools of recognized prestige” to be considered as eligible by the (usually quite high) standards of the visa.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When it comes to the Golden Visa regime, especially with regards to the investor route, the first thing that comes to your mind is probably Real Estate Investment.
Through the years, this option has become, undoubtedly, the most popular path to the Golden Visa for foreign investors – to the point that most people actually identify the Golden Visa synonymously with ‘obtaining residence by buying a property’.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Please keep in mind that this article will only be applicable to non-EU citizens, as EU citizens have everything easier for them in regards to residency because of freedom of movement.
Today, we are covering another of the most usual questions that pop up in our feed, which is about the possibility to apply for a residency permit for Spain from within the country.
Since there is a big overlap between the countries that form the European Union and those that are part of the Schengen Area, it is very likely that someone will end up a bit confused. While all of these countries find themselves in the continent of Europe, we are talking about two separate systems with a different origin.
It might be confusing, yes, but we are here to help!
