Where the content comes from

Every step traces back to an official page.

  • Checklists are built from the LEA Berlin, KVR München, AfM Hamburg, MA 35 Wien and Migrationsamt Zürich process pages — not from generic guides.

  • The official authority link sits inside each checklist step, so you can verify at the source in one click.

  • German and Swiss German templates cover permit requests, missing-document replies and status inquiries — ready to send, not placeholder drafts.

  • Plan limits (1 permit on Free, up to 5 on Pro, unlimited on Power) are enforced in the product, so nothing stops halfway through.
