You Your company, your family, your claim
Sanad Europe We coordinate, translate and accompany you
Licensed professionals Lawyers, tax advisers, notaries and sworn translators, whom you instruct directly

Germany has no golden visa. We tell you which routes exist, and who is allowed to do the rest.

Sanad (سند) is Arabic for support: someone you can lean on.

Who we work with

Entrepreneurs and investors

From the Gulf, the Levant, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa, who want to set up a company, invest or trade in Germany.

Against a German business partner: unpaid invoices, contracts that are not honoured, disputes that need a way forward.

Families and individuals

Moving to Germany or already living here, and dealing with authorities, recognition of documents and consulates.

What we do, and what licensed professionals do

Every service has a clear line. On one side, the work we do ourselves. On the other, the work that German law reserves for licensed professionals. You instruct them directly, and we coordinate between you.

How we work

  1. You tell us what you need

    On WhatsApp, by phone or by email, in Arabic or English. The first call of 20 minutes is free of charge.

  2. We map the steps

    Which organisational steps are needed, in which order, for which fixed fee, and which licensed professional you need for which part.

  3. We coordinate

    We book, translate, accompany and keep everyone informed. You deal with one person instead of every office separately.

About the founder

Name of the founder (shown as an image)

Our founder was born and raised in Germany and lived for many years in the Middle East. He works from Frankfurt am Main and speaks Arabic, German and English.

He founded Sanad Europe so that clients from the Arab world have one person in Germany who knows both sides and says honestly what is possible.

Sanad Europe is operated by M.B. Great Cyprus Holding Ltd, Limassol, Cyprus, where he is director.

Why Frankfurt

  • Seat of the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank
  • Nonstop flights to the Gulf and across the Arab world
  • Home of Messe Frankfurt and its international trade fairs
  • Several Arab states have a consulate in the city

Europe beyond Germany

In Cyprus, where our operating company is based, we introduce you to licensed Cypriot lawyers and accountants, whom you instruct directly.

For other EU countries, we can introduce you on request to licensed advisers there; we do not advise on the law of those countries.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get me a residence permit?

No one can honestly promise that, because the competent authority decides. We explain the routes that exist, help you gather the documents on the official list and accompany you. A licensed lawyer whom you instruct directly assesses your individual case.

Is there residence in Germany in exchange for a fixed investment?

No. Germany has no residence programme in exchange for a fixed investment amount. A residence permit for self-employment is decided case by case, based on the business idea.

Do you give legal or tax advice?

No, we do not give legal or tax advice. Licensed lawyers and tax advisers do that, and you instruct them directly. We coordinate, translate and follow up.

A German company owes us money. Can you help?

Yes, with the preparation and coordination: we record the facts of your matter in Arabic, organise and translate the documents, gather public information on the other side and introduce you to a licensed lawyer or a registered debt collection service provider. We never take a share of the amount.

Who pays your fee?

Only you. We accept no commission or other benefit from lawyers, debt collection providers, tax advisers or notaries, and none from hospitals, banks or estate agents.

Do you help with medical treatment in Germany?

On request: contacting hospitals, requesting the hospital's cost estimate, documents for a medical visa, interpreting and accompanying you. Our fee is paid only by the patient, never by a hospital.

Which languages do you work in?

Arabic, English and German.

Tell us what you need

Write to us in Arabic or English. The first call of 20 minutes is free of charge.

Please do not send passport copies or confidential documents in your first message. We will agree with you how to share them.
