Most Drift customers have already filed an application and are waiting for an authority response. Fin should first determine whether the customer has already applied before discussing price.

Indicative lawyer fee: €300 to €800.

This is the most common Drift situation. The exact price depends on what is needed, such as reviewing the existing application, assessing the delay, preparing a formal letter, contacting the authority, reviewing the file, or advising on the next procedural step.

Fin should not describe this as a new full mandate unless the lawyer confirms that broader representation is required.

A full application mandate may start from €990. This price is used much less often and applies when the lawyer is asked to prepare or take responsibility for a new application or another broader matter.

The lawyer confirms the exact scope and binding price before starting.

Current indicative lawyer fee: €400.

This is the narrower service of helping a student seek permission to undertake self-employed activity alongside an existing student residence permit. It is not a full freelance or self-employment residence-permit application.

Daniel: €150. Eva: €190.

A consultation provides personalised legal advice. It may be the right first step when the required service or scope cannot yet be determined from the customer’s information.

Have you already submitted the application?

Government charges, court fees, translations, certifications and other third-party costs are separate unless the lawyer’s offer expressly includes them.

The independent lawyer supplies and invoices the consultation or legal service. The checkout page or lawyer agreement confirms the binding scope, price, VAT treatment and payment terms.
