Aktuelle Hinweise zu diesem Standort

Neues Verfahren zur Vereinbarung von Terminen

Das LEA ändert das Verfahren zur Vergabe von Terminen ab sofort grundlegend. Termine können nicht mehr über die bisherige Online-Terminvereinbarung (OTV) gebucht werden. Die zuerst aufgrund von Wartungsarbeiten abgeschaltete OTV wird dauerhaft außer Betrieb genommen.

Der Grund für diese Entscheidung liegt insbesondere darin, dass vor allem im Internet agierende Anbieter die in der OTV verfügbaren Termine zunehmend abgeschöpft hatten, um diese zu verkaufen. Unseren Kundinnen und Kunden standen viele Termine nicht oder nur gegen Bezahlung zur Verfügung. Diesem missbräuchlichen Geschäftsmodell wird nun die Grundlage entzogen.

Online-Antrag oder Kontaktformular

Das LEA stellt konsequent den Großteil seiner Dienstleistungen auf digitale Anträge um, bei denen Termine von den Referaten nach erfolgter Antragsprüfung direkt an die Antragsteller vergeben werden. Für erste Dienstleistungen, wie zum Beispiel für Verpflichtungserklärungen und den Aufenthaltstitel Blaue Karte EU werden die Termine nach Prüfung der online eingereichten Dokumente direkt von den zuständigen Referaten an die Antragsteller vergeben.

Wenn für die benötigte Dienstleistung noch kein Online-Antrag zur Verfügung steht, können Termine bei den zuständigen Referaten mittels Kontaktformular vereinbart werden. Beachten Sie bitte unsere Hinweise zur Terminvereinbarung auf unserer Website.

Es liegt ein Notfall vor und Sie benötigen dringend einen Termin?

Service description

Aufenthaltserlaubnis aus humanitären Gründen - Verlängerung

Extension of a residence permit issued on humanitarian grounds, e.g. pursuant to section 23 or section 25 of the Residence Act.

A residence permit under section 23 must have been issued by order of the State of Berlin or of the Federal ministry.

Compelling humanitarian grounds for the issue of the residence permit pursuant to section 25 can be:
  • Recognition as being entitled to asylum or as a refugee by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees,
  • application of a deportation ban or an obstacle to departure or
  • undue hardship.

Depending on the legal basis for the issuing of a residence permit on humanitarian grounds the documents and fees required may vary.

Prerequisites

  • Possession of a valid residence permit under sections 22 - 25b of the German Residence Act
    The residence permit to be renewed must have been issued under sections 22, 23, 24, 25, 25a or 25b of the Residence Act.
  • Humanitarian ground continues to apply
    The residence permit cannot be extended if the humanitarian ground no longer applies, for example because recognition as being entitled to asylum or as a refugee by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge) has been withdrawn or there is no longer an obstacle to departure.
  • Main residence in Berlin
    The residence permit cannot be extended via the Berlin Immigration Office if it was issued by another Foreigners Registration Office on condition that the holder takes up residence within its geographic area.
  • Personal appearance by appointment is required

Documents required

  • Valid passport or passport substitute
    A recognised and valid passport must be presented. Otherwise proof must be provided that a passport or passport substitute cannot reasonably be obtained from the competent authorities in the country of origin.
    • Holders of a residence permit in accordance with section 25 sub-sections 1 and 2 of the Residence Act will be issued with a new travel document for refugees.
  • 1 current biometric photo
    35mm x 45mm, frontal shot with neutral facial expression and closed mouth, looking straight into the camera, light background
  • Proof of secured livelihood (original and copy)
    • Employees: Employment contract, current certificate of employment (not older than 14 days), last 6 salary slips, for the extension of the residence permit additionally a certificate on paid contributions or adequate provision for an old-age pension; each original and copy
    • Self employed: Audit report form (Prüfungsbericht), prepared by a tax consultant, auditor or lawyer for tax law
    • Possibly a current proof of receiving benefits according to SGB II or XII or the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act.
  • Proof of an obstacle to departure
    If a residence permit has been issued in accordance with sub-sections 3 or 5 of section 25 of the Residence Act, appropriate proof must be provided that an obstacle to departure continues to apply (i.e. medical certificates, proof of a family unit with minors or spouses).
  • Proof of main residence in Berlin
    • Certificate of registration at the main residence or
    • lease and written confirmation of occupancy from the landlord
