What closed

Articles 63 to 67 of Ley 14/2013 created the investor visa and the investor residence permit and set the ways an investment could be evidenced. Ley Orgánica 1/2025, of 2 January 2025, a law on the efficiency of the justice system, carried in its final provision 21 an amendment that left those five articles without content with effect from 3 April 2025¹. The official consolidated text of Ley 14/2013 now shows each of the five articles as "sin contenido" with that date¹. From that day the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration accepts no new investor applications.

This page does not reproduce the thresholds that applied before the closure. They are historical, they are not in the dataset, and quoting them beside open programmes would invite a comparison that no longer applies.

What existing holders keep

The same amendment added a transitional provision to Ley 14/2013 for investors and their family members who applied before the closure took effect¹. Holders keep their permits and their renewal rights; the closure stops new entrants only¹. A holder due to renew should read the transitional provision itself rather than rely on a summary, because the renewal is now governed by a provision written for a closed scheme.

Why the row stays in the dataset

A closed programme is a fact with a date and a source, and readers searching for a Spanish golden visa in 2026 need it recorded. The row is kept with the status "closed", every rule column set to "n/a", no routes, and the repeal recorded as the legal basis. It is dimmed in the homepage table under any filter because it matches no route type and no stay class, and it is listed last in the country index.

Ley 14/2013 also contains residence routes for entrepreneurs, highly qualified professionals, researchers and intra-company transferees. Those routes were not repealed by Ley Orgánica 1/2025 and are outside the scope of this dataset, which records residency-by-investment programmes only¹.
