What a strange time we are living… nobody thought about it but here we are to support you. We recommend you always check the official information and not just rely on blogs, personal commentaries or social media post among others.

Here you can find important information about how the processes are carried out in each of the state offices in Berlin, Stuttgart, and Frankfurt.

Berlin

The Berlin Immigration Office is still open. However, in order to protect against the risk of infection, we have switched to processing customer applications online and in writing.

For people,

• who have already booked an appointment or
• whose residence permit has expired or will expire soon, or
• who are in possession of a certificate confirming permission to remain pending an asylum decision or a certificate of their departure obligation

we have set up online registration procedures on our website.

For these and other concerns, such as

• the (until further notice not possible) collection of already ordered residence permits or
• applications for permanent residence permits or
• applications for amendments to stipulations on existing residency permits

we have provided information in our FAQ.

Our on-site services are restricted to emergency cases.
