Residence permit Hamburg

Detailed description

If a positive decision is issued after the asylum procedure, the applicant receives a temporary residence permit (residence permit in accordance with Section 25 (1), (2) or (3) AufenthG - residence for humanitarian reasons).

An asylum procedure is approved if one of the four forms of protection is available:

  • Persons entitled to asylum (Section 25, Subsection 1, Residence Act) and recognized refugees (Section 25, Subsection 2, 1st alternative Residence Act) generally receive a residence permit limited to 3 years
  • Subsidiary protection (Section 25, Paragraph 2, 2nd alternative Residence Act) generally grants a residence permit limited to 2 years
  • The ban on deportation (Section 25, Paragraph 3 of the Residence Act) generally grants a residence permit limited to 1 or 3 years

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Sport - Office for Migration (BIS / M) is responsible for the first issue of a residence permit after a positive asylum decision.
This also applies to the first issue of family reunification for refugees (residence permit according to § 30 and § 32 AufenthG)

The district immigration services are generally responsible for extending these residence permits.
