Boundaries, stated plainly
What we do not do
Immigration blogs sometimes blur the line between explaining a process and offering to handle it. We want that line to be obvious here, so this page spells it out before you read anything else on the site.
We do not file applications
Every residence permit request, address registration or tax form mentioned on this site still needs to be submitted in person, or by an authorized representative, at the relevant government counter. We do not accept documents, submit forms, or represent readers before the General Inspectorate for Immigration, ANAF, CNAS or any local authority.
When an article describes a document list, it is describing what has been publicly indicated as typical. It is not a submission service, and there is no back-office here processing anyone's paperwork.
We do not provide legal counsel
Nothing published here should be read as legal advice for an individual case. Immigration law, tax law and tenancy law each have exceptions, local variations and timing rules that a general article cannot account for. When a situation is unusual, an authorized lawyer or a public legal aid service is the appropriate next step, not this blog.
Where a topic genuinely requires a legal opinion, our articles say so directly rather than guessing at an answer.
We do not guarantee an outcome
A completed document folder does not guarantee that a residence permit will be granted, a landlord will accept a rental application, or a tax office visit will resolve in a single appointment. Outcomes depend on individual circumstances, current regulations and decisions made by the relevant authority. We describe patterns we have seen and read about, never certainties.
What we do instead
Four things, roughly, define what this project actually is.
We publish editorial guides
Written summaries of what a process tends to involve, organised around real situations rather than legal clauses.
We cross-reference public sources
Where relevant, we point toward what the General Inspectorate for Immigration, ANAF or CNAS have published themselves.
We share lived experience
Notes from people who went through the apartment hunt, the tax office queue and the health card registration themselves.
We answer general questions
Through the contact page, about the topics covered here, without reviewing or advising on individual cases.
