4. At the moment of acquiring the property, we can already begin with the application of the Golden Visa, which takes 30 to 45 days to issue
We help you in the process of obtaining your Golden Visa from the first step. There are two phases; one where we will work together and another where we will already have the capacity to operate on your behalf. In the first phase, we will jointly do the following:
- In case you choose to acquire one or more properties for a value greater than € 500,000, we will offer you several options according to your demands, we will accompany you in the visits to the houses, and we will make our real estate network available to you
- Receive a power of attorney from you so that we can operate in Spain for you, without you having to return to the country if you do not want to do so
- Open a bank account in Spain
During the visit to the property(ies) you wish to acquire or after, you must transfer the deposit to secure it. The acquisition process can take between 2 and 3 months to complete. However, after receiving the power of attorney, Dos Aguas Consulting will be able to execute the pertinent actions in each phase of the process, so you will not need to return to Spain if you do not wish to do so.
