Key issues with German legal person visa
▼
Question 1: Can international students get a legal person visa by establishing a company?
After students complete their studies, if they want to start a business, can realize visa conversion through startups. Whether the
visa can be successfully converted, the local chamber of commerce will make decisions based on your learning situation, business plan, business scope and funding level. Compared with domestic investors, although foreign students lack corporate management experience, German educational background and German ability constitute a unique advantage for international students.
Question 2: How do Germany determine whether this company is in line with the local economic interests? The approval of the legal person visa is jointly completed by the local Foreign Affairs Administration, the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Promotion Bureau. In all application materials, in addition to age, education and other requirements, the most important inspection and judgment material is business plan that describes the company's business philosophy. After reading the plan, the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Promotion Bureau will evaluate the scope of business and the feasibility of the business plan described in the plan. This assessment report will have a crucial impact on visa approval.
Question 3: Do you have to know German if you apply for a legal person visa?
No German is required to apply for a legal person visa. Except for the Commonwealth countries, Germany has the highest English penetration rate in Europe. Most of your business partners and staff at official agencies can communicate in English, and it is easy to communicate. In universities around the world, a considerable number of German students are also learning Chinese. Germans can also be hired for Chinese entrepreneurs or individuals with rich business experience but lacking language skills.
Question 4: How long does a legal person visa usually take at one time?
The validity period of a legal person visa ranges from 1 year to 3 years, the most common is 1 year. One year later, the legal person needs to submit materials to Foreign Exchange Administration . According to the company's operating conditions, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange will continue to issue visas to investors.
If the applicant's conditions are good and the company's business meets local needs, can sometimes obtain a company visa for 3 years at a time.
Question 5: The company is my own, do you need to pay yourself a salary?
If you want to apply for a legal person visa, then the general manager must have an economic source to maintain your life in Germany. In this case, the company must issue a legal person employment contract to the general manager , and pay the general manager every month after the legal person visa is completed.
Question 6: Can the company register to rent a house at the address where I rent a house
When renting a house, you need to ask the landlord if you allow you to post a company name brand on the mailbox, whether you can issue an house sublease contract to the company . The contract needs to indicate that the house is allowed by as a commercial .
This is mainly because, during the process of registering a company and applying for a tax number, the Finance Bureau usually requires an office lease contract. Sometimes the Finance Bureau will come to check whether the address meets the office conditions. Therefore, our suggestion is to buy a commercial and residential dual-purpose housing in Germany , or rent a special office space, so that it is enough to convince the Finance Bureau that you can handle the company's affairs here.
has its own fixed address and office address, which allows the local government and relevant review agencies to see your determination and confidence in running a company in Germany. It can also become a major advantage when applying for a legal person visa and transferring permanent residence.
Question 7: What content should the business plan contain?
A good business plan must connect the applicant's entrepreneurial ideas, so applicants for legal person visas need to pay special attention to this business plan. According to the information released on the website of the German Embassy and Consulate in China, the business plan submitted when applying for a visa should at least include 13 items, including: investment project introduction, business scope, etc. So, in order to improve the success rate of visa application, we recommend that the business plan be written by the professional lawyer of the native language of German.
Question 8: How to reunite family members after obtaining a legal person visa?
After you arrive in Germany, your spouse and underage children under the age of 16 can immediately go through the procedures for reunion in Germany and immigrate to Germany at the same time. As long as your income proves that the whole family can live in Germany.
The whole family can enjoy various benefits such as medical insurance, pension insurance plans, free education, etc. Your child can receive government cash subsidies, tax incentives, free and excellent education from primary school to university, experience the diverse culture and expand the possibilities of future careers.
Question 9: Why do applicants over 45 years old need to pay an additional "entrepreneurship deposit"?
Applicants over 45 years old must pay an additional pension insurance in Germany. The insurance amount fluctuates at 1,000 euros/month, and there will be differences according to age. This is because The Administration of Foreign Exchange has some concerns about older entrepreneurs, and is worried that they will directly enjoy welfare benefits when they come to Germany, rely on German social resources to pension and pay insurance to prove that their economic strength can support themselves. The funds of can be withdrawn after obtaining permanent residence, so they are also called "entrepreneurship deposit".
