“Spain may offer automatic residency to foreigners such as Chinese and Russians who buy homes in the country, aiming to help the ruined housing market, a government official said Monday. ‘We have proposed to the other ministries that for residents who acquire a home in Spain for more than 160,000 euros ($205,000), that will automatically entail a residency permit,’ said junior trade minister Jaime Garcia-Legaz. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy later told a news conference that ‘no decision’ had yet been taken on formally launching the scheme, but said that Spain’s stock of unsold housing needed to be sold at ‘reasonable prices’.”
