Question
I have a question about the golden visa. When you apply for it while in Spain, the visa is for 2 years, then it can be renewed for 5 years. When you first apply, you have to show you have enough funds to support yourself during the initial 2 year visa (56,000 euro). When you apply to renew the visa do you have to show you have enough funds for all 5 years (140,000 euro)?
