Checklists

Document checklist for first residence permit

First applications usually require multiple visits because something is missing. This checklist, built from case experience, marks each document for whether translation is needed, certification is required, and whether it has an expiry date. Go through it before your visit — you'll only need one trip.

Prepared for countries

What's included

  • Document list with marks for 'translation / certification / expiry'
  • Separate section for employed, student, and family members
  • List of common reasons for refusal on first submission
  • Fields for submission and response dates to track deadlines

A template is a working tool, not legal advice. It shows document structure and attachment requirements, but doesn't assess your specific case. If your situation is unusual — consult a lawyer first.

How it works

Ordering in four steps

  1. 1

    Request

    You provide your name, email, phone, and preferred messenger. No payment needed at this step.

  2. 2

    Situation review

    The manager contacts you to clarify details: country, status, timelines. If the template doesn't fit your situation, we'll say so directly and suggest what you actually need.

  3. 3

    Payment

    After confirmation, we send an invoice. The price is fixed — what you see on the document page.

  4. 4

    Delivery

    The document arrives by email in the requested formats, along with completion instructions and an attachment checklist.

Request

Order a document

Fill out the form — the manager will contact you, clarify your situation, and send you an invoice. Payment only after confirmation.

These templates come from real case experience, not copied from official websites. But paper doesn't win cases — people do. You explain your situation to a lawyer in plain language, the lawyer translates it into legal terms, manages timelines, and directs an advocate where court or government representation is needed. The template saves you preparation time — the lawyer is accountable for results.
