Why people choose Drift.

Immigration, contracts, company setup, whatever it is, you can try doing it solo… or do it the smarter way.

Immigration, contracts, company setup, whatever it is, you can try doing it solo… or do it the smarter way.

By Yourself

Doing it alone feels cheaper at first, but fixing mistakes later costs more.

Googling for hours, still unsure

Confusing rules, written in legal jargon

Forms, deadlines, and no one to ask

One mistake = weeks of delay or a rejection

With a Lawyer (old way)

Doing it alone feels cheaper at first, but fixing mistakes later costs more.

€300+/hour fees, unpredictable bills

Slow response times, weeks to get an appointment

No transparency: hard to track progress

You still handle admin and paperwork

With Drift

Clear plan, instant quote, legal expertise, all in one place.

Quote + plan in 2 minutes

Lawyers available when you need them

AI tools that make boring paperwork way easier

Handled end-to-end, fully online

AI where it’s faster.

How long does the process take?

With Drift, your part can often be ready in just a few days. Legal processes handled by government offices or authorities may take longer — sometimes weeks or months depending on the case. During that time, you stay supported: you can upload documents, track progress, and reach out to your case manager or lawyer whenever you need.

    This is so great and I know quite a few people who would benefit from this service - I will be sharing far and wide! Thank you for this ✨ I have had experience with an immigration lawyer in Berlin and it was amazing. She was brilliant at making sure I understood all the processes; made sure I had all paperwork in the right order and state as well as ensuring I had an appointment in good time. I always recommend her to friends ❤️

    This hits home. 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! 👏👏👏👏👏
