IMMIGRATION PACKAGES

Our Immigration Services for Germany are customized for all budgets.

Our service is targeted for working people and their families. Whether you are entitled for a Bluecard, a Specialist visa, an ICT card or you are a researcher or freelancer, our immigration services will guide you safely through the application process.

We will usually start with a telco and that will already enable to give you a hindsight, whether or not the work permit is going to be possible, or an evaluation of some kind needs to take place first.

Such can be a more detailed look into your academic results, it may be a formal evaluation by the central authority for academic studies, it can be a thorough analysis of your professional experience and knowledge by the respective authority responsible for your profession, and finally it can be an evaluation of the demand for your experience in Germany by the Federal Employment agency.

Please be aware that any evaluation may not result in a positive answer, however, in most cases a visa category will be applicable. If you want to check on your own, follow our guide!

For a defined set of countries, citizens need to apply from within their home country, other citizens can apply in Germany. With the new law in force since March 2020 a state-individual fast track approach may be possible and sensitive in your case. Our immigration services include guidance on the immigration approach would likely be the fastest.

Where there is a high likelihood that a work visa will be granted, we will advise the process, guide through the labyrinth of immigration requirements, support with the compilation and completion of documents and forms, help reserving appointments with immigration bodies, join during such appointments to get the best out of them, and finally, review the residence title issued and compare to what was applied.

We work with our lawyers Offer & Mastmann wherever legal counselling is required, especially so, when an employer seeks to develop an immigration strategy and wants to define a legally solid immigration process. Bettina Offer and Gabriele Mastmann have been the first attorneys to specialize on immigration law in Germany. Having established their practice in 2005 and being nominated as leading providers in the field by Who's Who Legal since 2009, they have successfully supported 3.000 - 4.000 immigration cases each year and have experience with more than 100 German immigration bodies worldwide.
