Residence permit - Humanitarian reasons with protection against deportation
If you are banned from deportation under the Residence Act, the Service Centre for Immigration and Naturalisation will issue you with a residence permit.
Course description
Persons to whom the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has recognised a ban on deportation in the asylum procedure can apply for a residence permit. The BAMF's decision to grant a residence permit then contains the wording "The prohibition of deportation under Section 60 (5) of the Residence Act applies" or "The prohibition of deportation under Section 60 (7) of the Residence Act applies". Partial completion of the asylum procedure alone is not sufficient to obtain a ban on deportation. You must have completed the entire asylum procedure and submit the final notification from the BAMF.
The application for the first issue of a residence permit on the basis of a ban on deportation has no fictitious effect. A tolerated stay is issued until the residence permit is issued.
If you receive social benefits, you must reside for three years in the federal state to which you were assigned for the asylum procedure. If you do not have a valid national passport, the residence permit will be issued as a substitute for an identity card.
After entering the country
You must first register your residence at the Citizens Office.
Application for a residence permit
Please submit the application form and the required documents online or by post. After submitting your online application, you can download a completed document as a PDF for your records. The document will confirm your application and the authorisation / continued validity of your previous residence. Once we have checked your application, you will receive an appointment for a personal interview.
Period of validity
The residence permit is issued for a maximum of three years and can be extended for a further three years. If protection against deportation no longer applies, the residence permit cannot be extended.
employment opportunities
With the residence permit, you can work in Germany without restriction. This information is stated on the electronic residence permit or the supplementary sheet.
integration
Persons who have been found to be ineligible for deportation are not entitled to attend an integration course. However, the BAMF can authorise them to attend if places are available.
