Hello everyone,
I just changed my status from Aufenthaltsgestattungen to aufenthaltserlaubnis nach 18b, with zusatzblattb:"Rigionala beschränkung: Bundesgebiet".
what does that exactly mean? im allowed to live and work in germany with short visits abroad like holidays inkl my home country(non eu) ? or is this a complete ban on traveling?
Thank you in advance for your help

thanks @Nataliia_volunteer
for the great answer!
@Kleinweg95
congrats for receiving the Aufenthaltserlaubnis nach 18b!
Could you let us know more about your experiences in switching from Aufenthaltsgestattung to Aufenthaltserlaubunis 18b? That would be super interesting for us and the other community members.
Some questions which might be very interesting:
What was the process like- how long it took?
What Bundesland / City did you do the process in?
What were the requirements?
Warm wishes
thank you so much @Nataliia_volunteer .
Hallo @Yara__Community_Manager
for me they requested:
1 qualified education, i recognized my engineering degree with advice from
https://www.netzwerk-iq.de/
2 its required to have a Duldung, so i had to withdraw my case in civil court against the BAMF, it was on going since 2022 ( so Aufenthaltsgestattungen to duldung to aufenthaltserlaubnis is more accurate)
( there was a post here about the withdrawal from court first and not from BAMF, i did that directly from bamf, as the lawyer advised, this was the BAMF decision in 2022 :(1. Die Flüchtlingseigenschaft wird nicht zuerkannt.
2. Der Antrag auf Asylanerkennung wird abgelehnt.
3. Der subsidiäre Schutzstatus wird nicht zuerkannt.
4. Abschiebungsverbote nach $ 60 Abs. 5 und 7 Satz 1 des Aufenthaltsgesetzes liegen nicht vor.
5. Der Antragsteller wird aufgefordert, die Bundesrepublik Deutschland innerhalb von 30 Tagen
nach Bekanntgabe dieser Entscheidung zu verlassen. )
3 i have been working in my field of study since 2022, with sufficient salary and no aid received from government, with work permit from Agentur für Arbeit ( in 2022, and for the this application again, the forms are filled from the employer and sent to Ausländerbehörde and they took care of the rest)
4 they asked for language certificate, i only submitted course attendance documents + i was communicating with them in german ( but my spoken level is around b1/b2)
5 the asked for the last 3 salaries + valid passport, they reviewed my documents before i withdraw the case and communicated mostly by email
the 18b is connected to the job, if i change it, i have to apply again for work permission.
Erding amt was responsible for me, they are ver helpful, and respond fast almost to all my inquiries.
Hi, Kleinweg95!
“Regionale Beschränkung: Bundesgebiet” means your residence permit under §18b is valid throughout Germany — you are allowed to live and work anywhere in the country. There are no regional restrictions.
Travel abroad:
Yes, you are allowed to travel abroad (including your non-EU home country) for short trips, such as holidays, as long as:
• Your passport and residence permit are valid
• You don’t stay outside Germany for more than 6 months
• Your main residence remains in Germany
This is not a travel ban, unless something different is written on your permit (which is not the case here).
