  "description": "The Ethiopian Investment Commission's (EIC) \"Application Form for New Investment Permit\" — the prescribed application an investor files to obtain an investment permit under Ethiopia's investment regime, submitted together with other legally required documents (a completed application form is, per the form's own cover page, one of the documents required for a new investment permit). Opens Ethiopia's Business Formation vertical (4/6; Taxes and Visa were already published as et/mor/individual-tin-registration and et/ics/e-visa-application, and Passport as et/ics/passport-application, per GOV-4532, child of the recurring \"GovSchema Standard Research\" routine, following this candidate having been left as disclosed, ready-to-author backlog by GOV-4246's own Ethiopia scouting pass). This schema models the applicant/investor's own identifying particulars (name, nationality/country of incorporation), two bounded 3-row tables of partners (Ethiopian partners residing abroad, and partners of Ethiopian origin — both \"if any\"), the investor's residential/office address in Ethiopia and home address abroad, tax identification and commercial registration numbers, an optional authorized representative's address particulars, the legal form of the business and type of ownership (with a branch's parent-company address gated on the ownership selection), the proposed investment's project profile (title, location, land and utility requirements, a narrative description), the estimated total investment cost broken out by category and by currency (US$ and Ethiopian Birr), the source of finance (equity/loan/other), estimated permanent and temporary employment (for local and expatriate personnel), a fixed 10-row project implementation plan (each row a pre-printed activity with its own completion-date blank; row 9, \"any other,\" is itself a blank the applicant labels), a required narrative on environmental impact and mitigation, an optional market-research question on how the investor learned of the investment opportunity, and the applicant's own declaration and signature. This schema does not file the investment permit application itself; the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Ethiopia or the Ethiopian Investment Commission.",
