What the same application costs elsewhere

The settlement permit is the same official form at the same immigration office. The difference lies in the effort, in the language and in the price.

An unlimited permit is an application that has to be right the first time. At a fixed price, not an hourly rate.

The law-firm figure is the classification from „Three routes“ further down this page; in an individual case it is higher. A law firm is right where a rejection, an appeal or a special case is involved. That is expressly not what we do.

The offer

One price, everything included.

Paid once, no follow-up costs, no mandatory subscription, 14 days right of withdrawal.

Package 01
Settlement permit, application preparation

149

  • The official form of your authority, filled in
  • Or: a guided portal pilot (online only)

The statutory authority fee of usually 113 € is paid separately, directly to your immigration office, not through civitas. In special cases it is higher.

What you get

Official German becomes a finished application.

The settlement permit is the same official form whether you fill it in alone or with civitas. The difference is how much research, translation and gathering of proofs is left with you.

Finding the right route
Depending on the immigration office the application runs through a paper form or an online portal, and both are named differently.The wrong route costs you a second attempt.
Automatically the route your authority uses: form filled in, or a guided portal pilot.
Proving that you meet the conditions
The settlement permit calls for proof of length of residence, means of subsistence, pension contributions, housing and language.A missing proof holds up the entire application.
The questionnaire asks for these proofs and maps your answers onto the form.
Filling in the fields
Official German, without translation and without any explanation of what belongs in the field.A misunderstood field becomes a wrong statement in the application.
Questions in your language, mapped field by field onto the official form.
Gathering the documents
What your authority wants to see in detail is written down nowhere central.If a proof is missing, the authority asks for it and the examination rests.
The application lists the documents typically required and lets you upload them.
The outcome
An incomplete application can come back and costs time all over again.An incomplete application comes back, and the examination only begins once the missing papers arrive.
An authority-ready application, filled in field by field, ready to submit.
Effort and price
Free of charge, but all the research and gathering of proofs is down to you.The form is free, the effort is not.
Fixed price 149 €, known in advance, no follow-up costs, 14 days right of withdrawal.
Classification

Three routes to the application.

All three routes end at the same official form. What differs is the effort, the language and the price.

Frequent questions

Worth knowing before you start.

If your question is not answered here, write to us. We reply within one working day.

Are there further costs?

Not for the preparation, it stays at 149 € per application. Independently of that your immigration office charges the statutory fee; you pay that directly there.

How does the right of withdrawal work?

You have 14 days right of withdrawal from purchase. With your consent at checkout we begin the preparation immediately after payment; the right of withdrawal lapses as soon as your completed form has been delivered.

Not sure yet?

First see which papers are usually required.

The questionnaire shows you, without payment, which route your immigration office uses and which papers are usually required. You only pay when you want the preparation.
