Spain's Entrepreneur Residence Permit (under Law 14/2013) lets non-EU founders live in Spain and run an innovative business. Your spouse and children can come too. No minimum investment is required, but the project must be innovative or of special economic interest, confirmed by a favourable report from ENISA, the state innovation agency.
We prepare the business plan, obtain the ENISA report, compile and legalise documents, and file the application. We also help with NIE and TIE cards, company formation and settling in Spain. We advise on other routes too, such as the digital nomad and non-lucrative residence permits, where they suit you better.
| Timeline | ENISA report ≈ 10 working days; permit decision ≈ 20 working days after filing |

| Validity | 3 years initially, renewable for 2-year periods; long-term residence after 5 years |
