Hello @pari , thank you for getting back to me. You can find what type of residence permit or “Aufenhaltstitel” you have on the card, there should be a little legal clause under remarks or "Annmerkungen". Usually, your residence permit expires after being abroad for more than 6 months without any interruptions. It is best to ask the immigration office for permission in writing before you leave for a longer period of time (6 months or above). - However, there are exceptions that can apply. For example, if you have a so called Blue card then you and your child can leave Germany up to 12 consecutive months months, without affecting the validity of your residence permit. You can read more about the exceptions here: https://stadt.muenchen.de/en/info/residence-permit-absences-abroad.html . If none of those exceptions apply to you. That unfortunately means that you will have to go to the embassy and apply for a new visa. In case you are a citizen of Canada, you can also enter Germany for 90 days without a visa. Please let me know if you have further questions, I am happy to help. Best wishes

Our resident permit is (Aufenthaltserlaubnis) and I really want to come back germany and i contact embassy of germany in toronto they asked a latter (Vorubzustimmung) but StadeAachen told me that they will not give it to me. Now iam really in stress how can i come back .

Dear @pari we would really like to support you with the possible next steps. Therefore, as my colleague already asked you, we need to know on which basis you were here. "Aufenthaltserlaubnis" only means residence permit. The basis is mentioned underneath that line, most likely as a combination of numbers, e.g. §18 AufenthG means that the basis is something with work. I attached you an example of a residence permit card and marked the necessary line in yellow. Could you please check the yellow box and tell me what is written on your card? Happy to hear your feedback.

Hello @pari , I have talked with ProAsyl and they have recommended to receive legal advice. Unfortunately, we cannot offer you legal advice on the platform. You should seek out a lawyer that specializes in Migration and asylum law. You can find a list of lawyers here: https://adressen.asyl.net/rechtsberaterkonferenz/ . In general your current residence status is a humanitarian status, similar to a recognized refugee. You already applied for the so called "Visum für Wiedereinreise" at the German Embassy in Canada, correct? Indeed, you will need the so called "Vorabzustimmung" of the Ausländerbehörde in Aachen, you mentioned they have rejected this. Did they tell you the reason for the rejection? If you need any further information or need help reaching out to lawyers please let me know. Best wishes

pari

Hi thanks for your reply . No, they did not tell me the reason .

Yara_Community Manger

Thans for your reply @pari , have you already contacted a lawyer and applied for the re-entry visa (Visa für Wiedereinreise)?

pari

Hi Yes i already did but they will not give me . I came canada because of some family problems but still iam stuck , I don't know if i come back and seek asylum in airport its possible or not !

Hi @pari , Did you receive a so called rejection letter from the embassy? Have you already contacted a migration/asylum lawyer in Germany? If you want I can help you with the search. I think the best way would be to receive legal advise and representation. Could you also tell me how long your residence in Canada is still valid for? Best wishes

pari

Thank you so much . I can not tell you how much iam hopeless and iam in bad situation to come back germany. No i did not contact any migration lawyer . We have Permanant residence from here. I hope you help me. This case is complicated.

Yes, unfortunately, it's a bit complicated but we can help you further a bit. We cannot give you legal advice. I will try and help you find a migration lawyer. Have you had one before or know of one that you trust? Best wishes Yara

pari
