Spain’s golden visa

[billskip]

As I understand it, you can become Spanish Resident without investing in a Golden Visa.
But all this visa stuff is all about becoming a genuine resident.

Correct, I wll be offered permanent residence later this year, I didn't invest in a golden visa. Spain is suffering a high volume of people buying property and the "locals" are complaining bitterly about having no accommodation to rent, they want to stop airb&b.
