I applied for German citizenship in 2022, finally got it in 2023—and even with all the privilege of stability and resources, the process was brutal. So much waiting, so much paperwork, and so many moments of ‘Did I mess this up?’ I love what you’re building with Drift. No one should have to go through immigration feeling lost, frustrated, or alone. Making the process accessible? That’s a game-changer. Cheering you on! 👏👏👏👏👏LikeReply

Immigration is a big step, and we’re here to make it simple.
FAQ
Immigration is a big step, and we’re here to make it simple.
What happens after I pay?
You immediately get access to the Drift platform. We’ll guide you through sharing your situation and documents, then match you with a lawyer and case manager. Your file gets prepped before your session so you don’t waste time.
What if I’m not sure which visa or permit I need?
That’s exactly what the legal assessment is for. Just tell us what you’re trying to do (e.g. work, stay with a partner, switch permits), and the lawyer will advise what applies to your case.
Is this enough to apply for my permit?
You’ll walk away with legal clarity and a personalised action plan. If you’re confident to apply on your own, go ahead. If your case needs legal support, you can choose to upgrade to full lawyer representation.
What if I have a really complex situation?
No problem — we’ll flag this early. If your case involves complications (e.g. past rejections, overstays, legal risk), your lawyer will explain what’s needed and how to proceed.
