How much should I invest in a company for my residency application in Germany?

I understand that to establish a company and obtain residency in Germany, the minimum requirement for the registered capital is 25,000 euros. But how much should an investor invest to make a case strong enough and have a higher chance of being approved?

    As I understand, you want to obtain residency in Germany through the way of establishing a company (GmbH). The minimum requirement for the registered capital is 25,000 euros, that´s right. Whether you will have a higher chance of being approved does not depend on the registered capital, but on the comprehensive operating capabilities, which is reflected in the business plan and other documents. We can communicate this issue further if you are interested.
