OFFICIAL ASSESSMENT

An investment, company share or business acquisition does not guarantee residence.

This is an entrepreneur residence-permit route based on actively managing a genuine and viable business in Finland—not a passive-investment or ‘investor visa’ programme. The competent Economic Development Centre issues the partial decision and Migri makes the final residence-permit decision; neither commercial investment nor advisory support can guarantee approval.

01 / CORE APPROACH

The commercial plan, the founder role and the permit evidence must tell the same story.

The official Finnish category is a residence permit for an entrepreneur. Assessment focuses on the company structure, your genuine work and management role, the viability of the business and whether income from the business can secure your means of support.

We do not accept remote investors. This model is intended for candidates who plan to move to Finland after a permit is granted and actively manage their own operation. Retroo Company provides the brand, training, products, supply and operating standards as master franchisor.
