Support Jami's Berlin Artist Visa Journey
Donation protected
Hey beautiful people! My name is Jami (Jamison Tanksley), and if you know me already, you know that a year ago I moved to Germany. Since being here, I’ve made very close friends here in the city of Leipzig. In this time, I’ve made many close friends, great business connections, and grew my notoriety as an artist! I'm often between Berlin and Leipzig, however, I primarily live in Leipzig.
Since I’ve moved to Germany, my visa process has been difficult and has made it hard to really progress my life the way I want and need it to. The Berlin Artist Visa is a Visa that better fits my profession as the freelance visa causes some issues for me here in the state of Saxony. As disheartening as it is, I was informed by a lawyer that my chances are much higher in the city of Berlin. With this Artist Visa in Berlin, I would be able to fully and freely work in my profession with less barriers. I have hired a lawyer to move my process to Berlin, however, it does come with cost.
What are these costs?
Mainly, the lawyer cost me 1,200 Euros which is not a bad price. Lawyer costs, unfortunately, aren't the only expense for immigration however it is only my main one.
What are my additional costs?
Private Insurance: 160 per Month
( I’ve recently suffered a medical issue so the insurance is definitely important )
Process of switch application from Leipzig to Berlin: 180 Euros
Cost of debts: 200 per Month
I would love to get any support from anyone who is able to provide. In the music scene, I’ve become an important character and pride myself on unity with the local artist. The amount of close connections I've made in Germany is long lasting. Your contributions to my process will not only make it possible, but will also relieve the burden on my close friends here who already are supporting me both emotionally and/or financially at this moment.
You can be a part of making this love artist's dreams continue to become a reality! Since moving, I’ve learned so much about the language with the support of my friends. Also my closest confidants and found family live here in Germany. My existence in Germany is just as important to them as it is to me.
The freedom to be who I am in a place that accepts me is key to my happiness and success. You could help keep this reality alive!
Thank you all so much.
