One of the most powerful strategies in the post-2024 Golden Visa landscape is the commercial-to-residential conversion. This allows investors to purchase office or retail space in prime areas (even those with the €800k threshold) and qualify for residency at just €250,000.
How It Works
- Identify a commercial property (office, retail, warehouse) in your target area
- Purchase at €250,000 or above
- Apply for change-of-use permit from the municipality (takes 2-4 months)
- Complete renovation to residential standards
- File for Golden Visa with the property classified as residential
