What Our Clients Say

Real people. Real cases. Real outcomes.

Mirko finally obtained my permanent residence permit, even though the immigration authorities hadn't responded for months. The legal support was definitely a game changer!

With the help of a VISAGUARD lawyer, I applied for a Blue Card and later for naturalization. I always had a contact person available and felt I received very good advice.

We handled our entire family relocation process with VISAGUARD. Having a lawyer closely supervising the visa process took a huge burden off our shoulders. Just perfect.

Already received a visa rejection?

Appeal deadlines in Germany are tight — usually one month from the rejection notice. The earlier we step in, the more options you have.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We work exclusively on fixed fees, agreed before we start — never hourly rates. The initial consultation is a fixed fee of €190, payable before the video call. The exact amount for any further legal work depends on the complexity of your case: a straightforward Blue Card application is far simpler than a visa lawsuit, and we price accordingly. After the consultation, you receive a transparent fixed-fee quote with no hidden costs and no surprise invoices afterwards. You decide from there whether you want to move forward.

  • Not for the simplest cases. But once your situation involves any complication — a previous rejection, a complex employment setup, a tight deadline, missing documents, or family members joining you — a lawyer significantly improves your chances and saves you weeks or months of back-and-forth with the authorities. Many of our clients come to us after trying it alone first. The cost of getting it right the first time is usually lower than the cost of fixing a rejected application.
  • Yes. Most of our clients first contact us from outside Germany — typically from the US, UK, India, and other countries. The entire process runs online: video consultations, digital documents, and direct communication with German embassies and authorities on your behalf. You do not need to travel to Germany to hire us, and you don't need a German address, phone number, or bank account to get started.
  • Processing times vary widely depending on the type of application and the authority handling it. A Blue Card typically takes 6–12 weeks, family reunification 3–6 months, and naturalization can take 1–2 years. When authorities exceed the legally permitted processing time, we file an Untätigkeitsklage — a legal action that forces them to make a decision. We always tell you upfront what realistic timelines look like for your specific case.
  • Yes — and the sooner you contact us, the better. You usually have only one month to file an appeal after receiving a rejection. We review the rejection notice, identify the legal grounds for challenge, and either appeal directly to the authority (Remonstration) or take your case to the administrative court. A rejection is rarely the end of the road; it's often just the start of a new procedural phase.
  • Yes. All our lawyers are fluent in English, and the entire client experience — consultation, documents, status updates, and final communication — runs in English. We also translate official German documents for you when needed and handle every interaction with German-speaking authorities on your behalf, so you never have to navigate the German bureaucracy in a language you don't speak.
