Once we have created your file, we will prepare the settlement permit application. We need some documents from you to send the application to the responsible Foreigners' office . Every settlement permit case is unique, so our team will check exactly which documents you need to provide us with. Once this has been clarified, we will send you an email with a list of the required documents. For a better understanding, here are the most frequently used documents:

  • residence permit
  • Proof of income (e.g. employment contract, payslip, employer confirmation from boss)
  • Information on pension insurance (if necessary)
  • Language certificate (or school certificates or training qualification)
  • National passport (if necessary)

Documents checked, confirmed and submitted

Once we have all the documents, we send the substantiated application to Foreigners' office. The right application and the right documents are very important. As experts, we take care of this. Once the substantiated application has been submitted with all the documents, we have to wait 10 weeks.

6. after submission of the application

What happens 10 weeks after submitting your application
After we have submitted your application, Foreigners' office has 12 weeks by law to process it.

If they do not process your application in time, we will inform you of the possibility of contacting Lawsuit for failure of act . Our experience shows that your application is then often processed quickly. The authorities know our law firm and know that we will consistently stand up for your rights. This usually motivates them to process your application quickly in order to avoid further legal action.

Additional information

Please pay attention to our emails throughout the entire settlement permit process and read them carefully. If you have any uncertainties or questions, we are there for you by e-mail.

We answer your questions

Yes. Foreigners' office is already having difficulties meeting the 12-week processing deadline due to the sheer volume of applications. Our many years of experience show that Settlement permit works faster with Migrando than without Migrando. We at Migrando submit the application fully justified. Our aim is for Foreigners' office to look at the application once and approve it. This saves the authority and you a lot of time!

The Settlement permit without Migrando will take longer and longer because there is a lack of legal expertise to take action against things like longer processing times. The immigration authorities have to deal with more and more different applications. The mass of applications leads to delays. Thanks to years of experience in communicating with immigration authorities and the legal expertise of the legal department at Migrando, Settlement permit is faster than if you apply on your own and without support. 

No. Before we send any application for Settlement permit to the immigration authorities, we check the entire application for accuracy. In an emergency, documents must be forwarded to us before the application is sent, so errors can be ruled out when applying to Settlement permit with Migrando .

No. Lawsuit for failure of act is included in our offer for support with the application to Settlement permit . In other words: We are prepared for the event that an Lawsuit for failure of act is filed. You will then only receive a request for approval for the Lawsuit for failure of act and will not have to pay an additional sum for this claim.

No. Before we send any application, it will be carefully checked for completeness and accuracy. It may happen that you have to send us documents before we submit the application because we realize during the check that the application is not complete. In this case, we will contact you and ask you to submit these documents later. Only when the documents are there and the application is complete and correct will it be forwarded to Foreigners' office .
