Residence-by-Investment Programme

We have partners in Germany that will facilitate both of the above investment requirements for the client.

Although there are no minimum physical residence requirements, the client will be required to maintain a residential address in the local municipality during the entire investment period. As the real estate development projects are off-plan, the main applicant is required to rent a property until the development has been completed. Our partners team in Germany will help the client find a suitable rental. Once the development is complete, this property can be used as the residential address for the remaining period of temporary residence. It is also a requirement for the main applicant and family members to have European-wide health insurance.

Application Process

The application process typically takes around two to three months, starting with the main applicant and nominated family members applying to participate in the municipal investment programme and simultaneously applying for German residence. The main applicant is required to make a refundable deposit to secure a slot and initiate the process for residence. Our legal partners in Germany will organise the pre-authorisation for residence with the local municlipality and the pre-authorisation letter will then be sent to the main applicant’s local German Embassy or Consulate. An escrow account will be opened in the main applicant’s name and the investment amount and the respective disbursements must be transferred into the account within14 days of receiving the pre-authorisation of letter.

The end result of a successful application process will be a temporary residence visa for each family member, entitling them to work, study and live in Germany. After three years of lawful residence it is possible for the principal applicant to apply for permanent residence, while after five years his/her dependent family members can apply for permanent residence (eligible to apply german citizenship)
