Spur Aufenthaltserlaubnis nach 18b
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

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).
