What happens when I apply to extend the entrepreneur permit?

An extension is based on the continued viability of your business. You submit updated financial statements and business documentation so the authorities can confirm the company remains profitable and your livelihood is still secured by it.

If the nature of your business has changed, you may need a revised business plan. A history of profitable, continuous business activity also supports a later application for permanent residence, which from 2026 also requires work history and language skills.
