It is essential to highlight the specific regulation that applies to the residence permit for investors in this situation. This is because we are referring to the Entrepreneur Law 14/2003, and not to the general Spanish Aliens Law.
This difference will be crucial for your legal situation, especially with regard to the application and subsequent renewals.
Unlike other visas under the general immigration law, the Golden Visa application can be made immediately from Spain.
In addition, the Golden Visa grants you a first residence and work permit in Spain for a period of two years, instead of just one.
Another important distinction with respect to other permits issued under the same Entrepreneurs Law is that, after five years, a second renewal of the Golden Visa can be made, which will eventually allow you to apply for permanent residence.
