Whether you’ve just received a job offer after finishing your studies, moved to Germany with an Opportunity Card and secured employment, or are already working and need to extend your residence permit, apply for a family reunification residence permit for your spouse or children, or change your employer — the process can feel confusing. Many international professionals share this experience.
In this post, we’ll explain:
1. Who commonly applies for a residence permit or Blue Card in Berlin
2. How we can support you — We work together with you and your employer to prepare the application and submit it through Business Immigration Service (BIS) Berlin, in accordance with the process set by BIS.
Who Commonly Applies for a Residence Permit or Blue Card in Berlin
You may need to apply for, change, or extend your residence permit if you are:
A graduate on a job-seeker visa who has now found employment
An Opportunity Card holder who has secured a job and must convert your visa to a work permit or Blue Card
A professional who has relocated to Germany, either:
- Entering Germany with a visa and applying for your first residence permit, or
- Entering Germany without a visa (for visa-free nationalities) and applying for your first residence permit
An existing permit holder who needs:
- A permit extension
- A residence permit for family members
- A change of employer notification for Blue Card or residence permit holders
If you belong to one of these categories, we can support you and your employer with the application process.
How we support you
We help you and your employer prepare the application and coordinate the submission through the Business Immigration Service (BIS) in line with their process.
If you decide to work with us, here’s exactly what we make clear to every professional and employer we support — to ensure full transparency and compliance with German law:
We are not a law firm: We act strictly as an administrative support provider, not a law firm.
We don’t give legal advice or legal representation: For legal questions, we recommend consulting a qualified immigration lawyer.
We are not affiliated with any government authority: We are not endorsed by the German Federal Foreign Office or the Berlin Immigration Office.
We cannot guarantee outcomes or processing timelines: Only the immigration authorities can decide on your application, and we can’t guarantee how long it will take to receive a response.
We help you submit your documents accurately: Our role is to assist you and your employer in preparing and submitting your documents in line with the BIS process, reducing the risk of delays caused by incomplete or incorrectly formatted documents.
Avoid Falling Into Scams
Unfortunately, we hear many stories of people being misled. Here’s what you should watch out for:
❌ Avoid anyone offering faster appointments for a fee — official appointments are managed only by the immigration office.
❌ Don’t trust anyone who guarantees approvals — only the immigration authorities can decide.
Make Your Berlin EU Blue Card or Residence Permit Application Less Stressful
Research thoroughly and make informed decisions when applying for your EU Blue Card or residence permit.
If you and your employer need assistance with the preparation and submission of your application, we can support you in line with the BIS guidelines.
