Important Legal Disclaimer

Spain's real-estate Golden Visa (previously €500,000) was abolished by law on 3 April 2025 and cannot be offered. The figure above is RBI Solutions' service package starting fee, not a mandatory Spanish government investment amount — the Startup Visa requires an approved business project and does not set a fixed capital-investment threshold. Separate Spanish government fees apply. Confirm current eligibility before proceeding.

Figures should be independently verified with licensed counsel before any investment or application decision. Approval is never guaranteed.
