What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

The necessary financial means for living costs must be available so that no social assistance has to be claimed; no numeric amount is stated. Proof of sufficient financial means can be reviewed after two years. The official source does not state how family members affect the requirement.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The residence permit entitles a stay of up to five years where the intended stay lasts longer than one year; an extension is possible if there is no ground for revocation or expulsion. The lottery right is strictly personal, not transferable, and lapses if not exercised within six months of receipt of the notification; winners must notify the Immigration and Passport Office of their entry date at the latest after five months, otherwise a waiver of the permit is assumed. The official source does not state physical-presence obligations or a longer-term direction.
