Visa and permit intake, on the same engine as Portiva Tax.
Portiva Immigration is the second vertical we're building on the Portiva platform — a consultant-ready brief for every work permit, residence permit, digital nomad, family reunification, student visa, or founder-route inquiry your firm receives. Live and billable in Q4 2026. Discovery calls running now.
Tax first. Immigration next.
One intake core, shipped one vertical at a time. We'd rather launch immigration when the briefs are as strong as the tax ones.
Six inquiry types we're designing for.
Each one is a different schema, a different set of unknowns, and a different urgency profile. The goal is the same: your advisor opens a complete brief, not an email thread.
What your advisor will open on Monday morning.
Early draft from discovery. Structure is final; wording will evolve with pilot firms.
A. Okafor — Founder residence permit (§21)
Nigerian founder, currently on a short-stay Schengen visa in Berlin. Wants to move to a self-employed residence permit.
- IHK business plan review — we have the draft, need IHK's Stellungnahme on economic interest within 3 weeks.
- Cap table & funding proof — SAFE from lead investor; investor letter confirming €1.2M commitment is pending.
- Meldebescheinigung — tenant has the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung; Anmeldung appointment booked for next week.
- Spouse path — A1 German pending. Family reunification application drafted but hold until principal is approved.
- Tax residency trigger — founder will exceed 183 days in DE in this calendar year. Portiva Tax brief attached for joint review.
Discovery with immigration firms — running this quarter.
Before we ship immigration, we're spending 10–15 hours per firm understanding how visa & permit intake actually breaks. If you run an immigration practice in DACH, the waitlist is also the shortlist for these calls.
Volunteer for a discovery callDocument chasing is the job
Where exactly the passport scan, apostille, and marriage certificate live — and why they arrive a week late.
Urgency is binary
Most cases are calm. A few are 48-hour-deadline. The intake has to surface that on the first screen.
Jurisdiction spaghetti
One client, two countries, three consulates. We're mapping which fields differ between DE / AT / CH from day one.
Handoff to Ausländerbehörde
What makes a brief actually useful when the advisor walks into the local office — not a dump of fields.
Tell us your firm & we'll notify you the day before launch.
No marketing emails. One launch note, plus an invite to a 30-min discovery call if your practice profile fits V1.3.
You're on the list.
We'll email you the week Portiva Immigration opens to pilot firms. In the meantime, see Portiva Tax → — the platform your immigration intake will run on.
