How long is the business activity residence permit valid, and can it be renewed?

The permit duration is tied to the purpose of your stay rather than a fixed standard term, with a legal ceiling of three years per grant. In practice the office sets a period it considers appropriate for your business circumstances.

You can apply to renew the permit before it expires, and consistent renewals over time can count toward longer-term residence options. To renew successfully you must continue to satisfy the same income or employment conditions, so maintaining the business in line with the law throughout the permit period is essential.
