Drift makes it easy for Tech & IT Workers, Founders, Freelancers, Researchers, Employees, Family of German/EU Residents to get residency and citizenship in Germany by assisting with the immigration filings that normally take months of back-and-forth with government offices and immigration lawyers.

You answer a few questions, upload your documents, and Drift prepares and submits everything for you. If something needs a lawyer, we connect you with one inside the app for a fixed price.

Drift is faster because most of the work is automated, cheaper because you don’t pay hourly lawyer fees, and clearer because you can see what’s happening at every step.

Drift is for anyone moving to Germany or already living here on a permit. Whether you're applying for a Blue Card, renewing a residence permit, bringing your family over, or going for citizenship after five years, we get your application ready to submit. 

We’re based in Berlin and backed by Unconventional Ventures, Impact Shakers, Dr. Daphne Hering, Gabriela Matic, and Friedrich Jagow.
