Price, transparent and one-off

Residence permit renewal at a fixed price.

Renewing your residence permit is a recurring event. The civitas preparation costs the same clear amount every time: 99 €. No hidden costs, no mandatory subscription.

You answer the questions in your language, we fill in the official form of your immigration office. You submit it.

What the same renewal costs elsewhere

The renewal is the same official form at the same immigration office. The difference lies in the effort, in the deadline and in the price.

Route 01
The form yourself
The form, the documents and keeping an eye on the deadline are down to you.
Your effortseveral hours
0 €no cost, all the effort yours
Route 02
With civitas.
We take on the form and the language.
Your effortunder an hour
99 €one-off per application, no subscription
Route 03
Law firm or concierge
Full representation, rarely needed for a recurring renewal.
Your effortseveral appointments
550 to 856 €total fee, open-ended

The renewal comes round again. The same price every time, not an hourly rate every time.

The law-firm range 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.

What you get

Official German becomes a finished application.

The renewal is the same official form whether you fill it in alone or with civitas. The difference is how much research, translation and deadline-watching is left with you.

Finding the right route
Depending on the immigration office the renewal 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.
Applying in good time
The expiry date is in your permit. Nobody reminds you of the deadline.An application filed after expiry no longer keeps your previous status in place.
The deadline tracker gets in touch before expiry, optional for 9,90 € per month.
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
Which proofs are asked for in your renewal depends on your permit and on your authority.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.
Understanding letters from the authority
Queries arrive in German and with deadlines of their own.A deadline missed is a deadline gone.
The tracker translates your letters from the authority and explains what to do.
Effort and price
Free of charge, but the research, the translation and watching the deadlines are down to you.The form is free, the effort is not.
Fixed price 99 €, the same at every renewal, 14 days right of withdrawal.

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 99 € per renewal. 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 or the portal instructions have been delivered. The details are in our terms and the withdrawal instructions, and you confirm this expressly before paying.

Not sure yet?

First see what your authority asks for.

The questionnaire shows you, without payment, whether your immigration office uses a paper form or an online portal and which papers are usually required. You only pay when you want the preparation.
