Required documents checklist
  • Trade registry and tax number

  • Professional licences (denklik / diploma recognition for foreigners)
  • Lease, fire safety, and municipal occupancy
  • Staff contracts and SGK registrations

Licensing steps — in order
1

Company + tax → MoH drawings → professional licences → fit-out inspection → facility licence

Important tip

Start denklik for a foreign director immediately — it is usually longer than the building licence.

Guidance only — not a licence. Confirm fees, area minima, and portal names with the official regulator before you apply or spend on fit-out.
