For the quickest results, especially when your residence permit is nearing expiration, utilize the contact form to submit your complete residence permit application instead of scheduling an appointment. Alternatively, you can send your documents by mail. If you hold a residence permit or National Visa, submit your application 8 weeks prior to its expiration date for optimal processing.
Fill out the contact form in German (utilize Deepl for accurate translation), specifying your request and the expiration date of your visa or residence permit. If expiration is imminent, request a Fiktionsbescheinigung. Attach all necessary documents (maximum 5 small PDF files). After submission, print the confirmation message as evidence of your application. Note that you will not receive an email confirmation.
Expect to wait several weeks or months for a response. During this waiting period, you are generally permitted to remain in Germany, even if your residence permit expires. If the wait exceeds 3 months, you have the right to take legal action against the Ausländerbehörde. When contacted, it typically indicates the approval of your residence permit. You will be provided with an appointment to submit any missing documents or have your fingerprints scanned. Anticipate receiving your residence permit 6-10 weeks following the appointment.
Securing an appointment can be challenging due to limited availability. Persistently refresh the official appointment booking page until you find an open slot, which may take several weeks. The appointment itself might be scheduled months in advance. Select your nationality and residence permit type (if unlisted, use the contact form). New appointments are released sporadically, primarily during business hours.
- Utilize the Business Immigration Service (BIS) to apply for a work visa or Blue Card through your employer or relocation service.
- Some services offer Ausländerbehörde appointments for a fee using automated scripts, but exercise caution to avoid scams.
- Berlin residents must visit the Berlin Ausländerbehörde. By registering your address in another city, you can apply at their Ausländerbehörde, which may have shorter wait times in smaller cities.
- Engaging an immigration lawyer can expedite the process and provide legal recourse if the Ausländerbehörde is unresponsive. This usually costs between €500-€2000.
