Asylum: guides for Germany
- Applying for asylum (Asylantrag)An Iranian national seeking protection in Germany should make the asylum request to the responsible authority and follow BAMF’s filing instructions. Filing is normally personal at the assigned BAMF branch; special situations require a different initial notification.
- Preparing for the BAMF AnhörungAt the BAMF Anhörung, an Iranian applicant must explain the facts that oppose removal, including the individual risk on return to Iran. Prepare your own account and seek independent procedure counselling before the hearing; late facts may be disregarded.
- During asylum: AufenthaltsgestattungAn Iranian asylum applicant may stay under an Aufenthaltsgestattung while the legal conditions for the asylum procedure are met. This is distinct from a residence permit or a protection decision; check the certificate’s conditions and the responsible issuing office.
- Applying for AsylbewerberleistungenAn Iranian asylum seeker in Germany may receive Asylbewerberleistungen if their status and financial circumstances meet the law. Contact the benefits authority responsible for your assignment; the type of support depends on accommodation and individual needs, not nationality alone.
- Challenging an asylum decision: KlageAn Iranian applicant who wants to challenge a German asylum decision should read its legal-remedy notice immediately and obtain urgent advice. The lawsuit period is generally two weeks, but specified cases have one week; a separate urgent court application may be necessary.
- From asylum to work or study: SpurwechselAn Iranian asylum applicant cannot assume a job offer or university place converts asylum status into a work or study permit. Check your exact procedural stage and residence route with qualified advice before withdrawing asylum; § 10 AufenthG imposes important barriers.
