Settle in Europe
Germany – Business Setup Residency
Germany offers a residency route for entrepreneurs and business investors, ideal for those planning to expand into Europe’s largest economy.

Germany does not offer a traditional Golden Visa, but it provides a business residency pathway for entrepreneurs and investors. By setting up a company, investing capital, and creating jobs, investors can obtain a residence permit. Applicants must present a strong business plan, show economic benefit to Germany, and prove financial capability. Residency can lead to permanent settlement after 5 years and citizenship after 8 years. As Europe’s largest economy, Germany offers unmatched opportunities for business growth, innovation, and access to the wider EU market, making it a top choice for serious entrepreneurs.
