As the fourth largest economy in the world, and the third largest nation in terms of exports, Germany is rightly viewed as a door to the world. With €469 billion Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Germany is also a prime target for foreign investors, the major investment magnet within the European Union. Businesspersons, entrepreneurs and investors truly appreciate Germany’s well-educated and highly efficient workforce, the political and social stability, as well as the unmatched legal security it has to offer.
Citizens of non-European Union countries have the right to undertake business activities in Germany. According to § 21 Self-Employment of the Act on the Residence, Economic Activity and Integration of Foreigners in the Federal Territory, also called the Residence Act (latest amendment 17th February 2020), foreign nationals may be granted residency for diverse business purpose.
