Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. The plan and checklists are general information about how the procedures work, kept up to date from official sources. Whether you personally qualify for a permit is a legal question that only a lawyer or the authority can answer.

What if my situation changes?

Change your answers on the kit page and the step plan rebuilds. The kit doesn't expire.

Who handles the payment?

Polar, our payment provider, takes the payment and sends your invoice. If anything goes wrong with your purchase, write to hello@talentsingermany.de.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free account with your email address, so the kit is there when you sign in again.
