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.
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.
Renew your residence permit.
Every package is paid once. No follow-up costs, no mandatory subscription, 14 days right of withdrawal.

- Deadline reminder before the permit expires

- Tells you when the next renewal is due

The statutory authority fee of usually 93 to 100 € is paid separately, directly to your immigration office, not through civitas.
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.
Three routes to the application.
All three routes end at the same official form. What differs is the effort, the language and the price.
- You work out yourself whether a form or an online portal applies
- In German, without translation and without explanation
- You research yourself which papers are required
- You keep an eye on the deadline until your permit expires yourself
The research and the deadline are your responsibility.
- Filled in or guided, multilingual
- The official form of your authority
- Document overview in the application
- Fixed price, 14 days right of withdrawal
We take on the form and the language, at a price that is settled beforehand.
- Legal advice in an individual case
- Representation before the immigration office
- Sensible in the event of a rejection, an appeal or a special case
- Total fee usually 550 to 856 €, higher in individual cases
The right route when your case is legally contested.
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.
Before and after this application.
civitas accompanies the whole way. These pages belong to the same journey, each with its own fixed price.
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.
