In LeónUP we would like to bring our city closer to every foreign citizen who is thinking about investing in Spain, For this reason, the Centro de Atracción de Inversiones advises on the procedures required by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its achievement in order to be able to carry out an entrepreneurial activity in our country.
The Spanish Law of 27th September, 2013, on support for entrepreneurs and their internationalisation (Ley 14/2013, de 27 de septiembre, de apoyo a los emprendedores y su internacionalización) promotes the enterprising initiative and the financing of entrepreneurs, relieves workload and procedures and, in short, aims to help both the foreign and local entrepreneur. Moreover, as regards foreign investors, this law sets down the acceleration of procedures and allows entrepreneurs to live in Spain for one year without the need to apply for the Foreigner Identity Card. This law includes a section on attraction of companies and international talent, with the possibility to obtain a resident visa swiftly.
Furthermore, we would also like to highlight that the possibility of applying for a resident visa extends to the spouse and children aged less than 18 years old, or children of legal age who move with the entrepreneur to Spain.
From LeónUP we would like to help all those who wish to start their business activity in Spain. If you are one of those, please contact us by clicking on this link and set up you project in León.
