Business Immigration and Residence Permits as an Investor
According to § 21 German Residence Act, a foreigner can be granted a residence permit to pursue self-employment. Successful applicants can invest in German companies, real estate and development funds. However, many requirements must be met or observed to obtain a residence permit through such investments and, subsequently, German citizenship. Inadequate application preparation often leads to long delays and frustration for the applicants.
Our experienced lawyers regularly manage applications for such residence permits for international companies and investors and, therefore, have the necessary experience dealing with the relevant authorities. Make sure to take advantage of insightful investment advice, and let us guide you through the essential application requirements to obtain the visa you need quickly and competently.
Our lawyers will also advise you on your investment plans after you have obtained your residence permit. Should you require further assistance with this residence permit application or any other investment matter, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details below.
Criminal Law Aspects – Investment Fraud and Money Laundering Offences
At Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte, our lawyers are here to assist those investing in Germany, and our knowledge of German law in matters of criminal fraud ensures that they have thorough and incisive legal counsel in times of crisis. Our team will advise you on how to react to fraudulent schemes, what signs indicate a possible fraud and how to prosecute the fraudster.
Furthermore, our lawyers advise clients on fraud offences concerning bitcoins, cryptocurrencies and real estate. The latter sector, in particular, is also highly susceptible to money laundering offences. If you are accused of alleged fraud or suspected of money laundering, our lawyers will assist you. Our criminal law practice group will inform you about the options available to defend your rights and explain how you should react to such allegations.
Investing in Gold and Other Precious Metals
Precious metals such as gold can be very valuable in times of crisis, as they retain their value comparatively consistently as an investment. Gold and other precious metals can also be a way for investors to diversify their investment portfolio. When buying or selling gold, however, it pays to be advised by someone who knows the market.
Our investment advisory team will advise you and explain how not to run afoul of German law and what you should always be mindful of when making such purchases. When buying and selling gold and other precious metals, German tax law, money laundering regulations, and other areas of law often play an essential role. In case of a loss or fraud, our team offers you comprehensive legal advice regarding your rights and the best possible course of action in such a situation.
