Can siblings get Golden Visas on the same property?
1 min read 2
Brothers and sisters often buy together to share costs. For the Golden Visa, the deed percentage beside your name is what matters.
Quick answer
Yes, but only if each sibling's registered share is worth at least 2 million on its own. Two brothers splitting a 4 million apartment 50/50 both qualify; two sisters splitting a 3 million apartment 50/50 do not. Shares are never added together.
Brothers and sisters often buy together to share costs. For the Golden Visa, the deed percentage beside your name is what matters.
Your share is what counts
The title deed records a percentage beside each owner. That percentage of the value is yours. A 4 million villa held 60/40 gives one sibling 2.4 million (qualifies) and the other 1.6 million (does not).
How much property you need
Multiply 2 million by the number of siblings who want a Golden Visa: 4 million for two, 6 million for three — in shares that match.
If one sibling falls short
- Change the ownership split before registration
- Buy an additional property in that sibling's name
- Use the 2-year investor visa (400,000 share each) for the sibling below the threshold
- Look at another Golden Visa route such as salary
Sponsoring family
Each sibling with their own Golden Visa can sponsor their own spouse and children. One sibling cannot sponsor another as a dependant on this route.
Set the ownership percentages before transfer. Changing a deed afterwards costs fees and time.
