Under what circumstances is the residence permit extended?

Residence permits are issued for a limited period of time. An extension is possible if the requirements that had to be met when the permit was first issued are still met.

There will be no extension if the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees has notified you that the conditions for revocation of refugee recognition are met.

Furthermore, your residence permit will not be extended if you have been deported due to a particularly serious reason for deportation.

You must urgently ensure that you submit an application for an extension or issue of another residence title (e.g. a settlement permit) before your residence title expires. If the application is submitted in good time, i.e. before the expiry of the time limit, your continued residence is deemed to be permitted until the decision of the immigration authority with all subsequent effects (e.g. authorization to pursue gainful employment). A late application (after the end of the time limit stated in the residence permit) can result in considerable legal disadvantages.

• Application for renewal

• current biometric photo
• previous residence permit

Further documents depend on the circumstances and can be requested from your contact person.

• The residence permit will be extended if the requirements that had to be met when it was first issued are still met.
• Existence of an application for extension
• There must be no grounds for refusal.

You are exempt from the fee for extending your residence permit.

If you are issued a new travel document for refugees, the fee is 60 euros from the age of 24 and 38 euros up to the age of 24.

As a rule, you must apply for the extension of your residence permit in person - well in advance of the expiry of your residence permit - at your local immigration office.

Arrange an appointment with your local immigration office. You can also find out about the application process and which documents you need to submit and in what form on the website of the relevant immigration authority.

If your application is approved, the foreigners authority will commission the Federal Printing Office to produce the electronic residence permit (eAT) with a new validity date

For information on the duration of the procedure until the residence permit is issued, please contact the relevant immigration authority.

As a rule, you will be informed of the duration of the procedure (approx. 6 to 8 weeks) by the responsible immigration authority when you apply for an extension.

Note: The residence permit/settlement permit is issued as an electronic residence title

Apply for an extension of your residence permit at your local immigration office in good time before it expires. You can find out about this from your local immigration office.

Because you are in possession of a residence permit due to the granting of refugee status, you are entitled to a settlement permit if you have been in possession of the residence permit for five years and meet the requirements stipulated for this.

If you are also able to support yourself and your family largely (at least 75%) from your own income and have a command of the German language (equivalent to level C 1), you will be granted a settlement permit if you have been in possession of a residence permit for three years.

• For the extension of the residence permit, the same conditions must be met as when the permit was issued.
• No extension if the conditions for revocation of refugee recognition are met
• No extension in the event of deportation due to a particularly serious interest in deportation
