Germany Real Estate Immigration Program

Germany Investor Visa

Germany is one of the powerful economies in Europe, developed country and excellent living standards for HNW investors

Germany has been one of the most popular immigration destinations in the world for some time now. There are few countries as liberal as Germany when it comes to the purchase of real estate by foreigners. Both natural persons and legal entities are permitted to acquire real estate in this country. The origin and citizenship of the person is irrelevant.

In Germany, there is basically no state program for this type of immigration. However, there is the option, for wealthy individuals, of obtaining a residence permit in Germany by acquiring real estate. This right results from the special permission contained in § 7 AufenthG (the German Residence Act). In cooperation with a municipality in western Germany, we have defined the conditions under which a residence permit is issued when real estate is purchased.
