Not legal advice · disclaimer

JOPATS Travel Consults provides information and application support for German visa and relocation processes: route selection, document checklists, timelines, cost estimates and application preparation.

We are not a law firm (Rechtsanwaltskanzlei) and none of our services constitute legal advice within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz). Where your case needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend a qualified lawyer.

Decisions on visas and residence permits rest solely with the German embassies and immigration authorities. Nobody can honestly promise a guaranteed visa, and we do not. Be careful with anyone who does.

Rules, fees and thresholds change. We cross-check figures with official sources such as auswaertiges-amt.de, but the official sources are always authoritative. Your written roadmap states the date its figures were checked.

We are liable for the careful preparation of your consultation. We are not liable for decisions of authorities, changes in law after your consultation, or outcomes of applications.
