The Scheme aims to offer a number of benefits to new investors, such as completion of procedures for setting up a company within 7 days from the day the company enters the Mechanism, issuance of residence and employment permits within 4-6 weeks, depending on the number of permits requested and employment of a greater number of third-country nationals in specific professions and with specialised skills, for which a shortage of supply has been identified at a national level, with the majority being related to digital skills.
