CASE STUDIES
SELF-EMPLOYED VISA, SPAIN

Recognizing the potential in the Dim Sum market in Madrid, she sought our assistance in obtaining a Self-Employed Visa.

PORTUGAL GOLDEN VISA
Isaac & Angela
In June 2021, Isaac embarked on his quest for EPIC Asia, aiming not to exceed a budget of 390,000€ for his Golden Visa application, which included his family of four.
After a thorough analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, considering Isaac's specific requirements, we opted for real estate as the avenue for their Golden Visa application instead of funds investment. Living in Geneva, Isaac made a trip to Lisbon for house hunting, spending four days exploring approximately 20 properties. Ultimately, he selected a 92 sqm, 2-bedroom apartment in Graça, a locale with significant potential for both rental income and serving as a second home for his eventual retirement. The total cost of the property, inclusive of renovation, amounted to 360,000 €.
By signing the reservation agreement on July 15, Isaac received the keys on August 23. The GV application was successfully submitted on August 30, 2021.

NON-LUCRATIVE VISA
Amy & Matthew / Kiki and Rayna
Amy and Kiki, representing two distinct families, both sought out EPIC Asia with a shared goal of providing their children with renowned and cost-effective education in Spain. They arrived in August and December 2020, respectively.
Amy opted to enroll her son, Matthew, in a local public school, which is free of charge. After a year, Matthew has achieved fluency in Spanish, allowing him to engage in everyday conversations seamlessly. On the other hand, Kiki chose to enroll her daughter, Rayna, in an international school where the school fees are only a fraction of those in Asia, and English serves as the primary language of instruction. As of now, Rayna has developed fluent English proficiency and can comfortably converse with her Spanish classmates.
Quinny & Mister / Candy & Joseph

Both families of Quinny and Candy have never been to Spain, they were enticed by the youtube videos produced by EPIC Asia, and came to us seperately to expression their intentions to retire here in Spain.
