Golden Visa Residency for British Nationals
We have lots of experience helping British nationals get Spanish residency and make their transition to Spain. In the final year before Brexit we helped many hundreds of Brits beat the Brexit deadline to get Spanish residency under EU withdrawal agreement terms. Post Brexit we continue to help British Nationals to gain Spanish residency as citizens of third countries via the investor Golden Visa residency scheme.

Here's what our customers who have to say:
‘Our Lawyer told us to go to Lifestyle when we asked him about getting residency. We are so glad he did. We were a bit daunted by it all, however they explained and took care of every step of the process, and everything went like clockwork at the Consulate in Manchester. We now have our Golden Visas. Everyone we dealt with was fantastic, we cannot recommend them highly enough’ G&TB
