Spain plans to end the "golden visa" program, targeting non-EU investors in Spanish real estate.

Spain's government plans to end the "golden visa" program, which allows non-EU residents to obtain residency permits by investing over €500,000 in Spanish real estate. The decision is part of the government's push to treat housing as a right, not a speculative business. Since its introduction in 2013, around 10,000 golden visas have been issued, sparking criticism for contributing to property price hikes and speculation in the housing sector.
