Beantragen einer Verlängerung der Aufenthaltserlaubnis bei Vorliegen eines Abschiebungsverbotes

Extension of a residence permit due to ban on deportation.

Your residence permit has been issued for at least one year. It can be extended if the prohibition of deportation and the other conditions for granting it are met.

You must urgently ensure that you submit an application for renewal or the issue of another residence permit (e.g. a settlement permit) before the expiry of your residence permit.

If the application is submitted in good time, i.e. before the expiry of the time limit, further residence is deemed permitted until the decision of the immigration authority with all subsequent effects (e.g. the right to engage in gainful employment). A late application (after the end of the time limit specified in the residence permit) can result in considerable legal disadvantages.

• Application for renewal
• current biometric passport photo
• previous residence permit

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

• The residence permit shall be extended if the conditions which must be met when it is first issued are still met.
• Existence of an application for extension
• There must be no grounds for refusal
• There is no revocation of the determination of the deportation bans by the Federal Office.

Fee for extension of the residence permit: 93 Euro

For minors: 46,50 Euro

Exemption from fees for social benefits

As a rule, you must apply for the extension of your residence title in person - well before the expiry of the validity of your residence permit - at your competent immigration authority.

Make an appointment with the locally responsible immigration authority. You can also find out about the application process on the respective website of the Foreigners' Registration Office and which documents you have to submit and in what form.

If your application is approved, the Foreigners' Registration Office will instruct Bundesdruckerei to produce the electronic residence title (eAT) with a new validity date.

With regard to the duration of the procedure until the residence permit is issued, please contact the competent immigration authority.

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

Note: The residence permit is issued as an electronic residence title.

Apply for the extension of your residence permit at your competent immigration authority in good time before it expires. Please inquire about this at your local immigration authority.
