Germany Golden Visa & Investment Programs

German Investor Residency Program

Germany is a thriving hub of industry, manufacturing, and engineering and is recognised by many as one of the main economic powerhouses of Europe.

Germany does not offer a traditional golden visa through passive investment in property, funds or government bonds. However, non-EU nationals may obtain residency by establishing and actively operating a business. This is commonly described as the German Business Investor Visa. This route is designed for entrepreneurs who establish or invest in a genuine German business that they will actively manage.
