Overview

Programme Overview

The Spain Business Residence Programme represents a premier, high-velocity corporate immigration gateway tailored specifically for non-EU/EEA self-employed consultants, independent contractors, and global business owners. Governed under advanced commercial growth frameworks managed by the specialized Ministry of Economy via the Large Business Unit (Unidad de Grandes Empresas — UGE), this path completely bypasses traditional real estate acquisition mandates. The programme allows accomplished operators to transfer their personal administrative base to Spain while keeping their core client networks and corporate groups entirely overseas. For clients of Burbridge Capital, the Spain Business Residence pathway delivers an uncompromised structural blueprint: an agile route to an independent corporate residence card processed on a priority national track, allowing you to deploy your self-directed global distributions to secure full operational freedom across Europe.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine multiple freelance client contracts to hit the €2,849 monthly threshold?+
Yes. You are not required to have a single, massive client. You can comfortably aggregate multiple active service agreements, software licensing contracts, or recurring retainer agreements from various international clients.
For how long is the initial corporate residence permit issued?+
When applying directly from within the country via the centralized UGE digital route, successful applicants are immediately issued a premium 3-year corporate residence permit — significantly more long-term administrative stability than the standard 1-year permits traditionally issued through local overseas consulates.
What happens to the financial requirements if I want to include my family members?+
For a solo applicant, the gross monthly benchmark is €2,849. Sponsoring a spouse adds an additional 75% (+€1,068/month), and adding each dependent child increases the threshold by 25% (+€356/month).
