Has the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees determined in your case that there are country-specific obstacles to deportation because return to the destination country would constitute a violation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), or because there is a substantial and concrete risk to your life, life, or liberty, then you may be eligible for a residence permit if the requirements are met.

However, a residence permit will not be granted if it is possible and reasonable for you to leave for another country, if you have repeatedly or grossly violated relevant obligations to cooperate, or if there are grounds for denial. Grounds for denial may include, for example, if you have committed a crime against humanity, a war crime, a crime against peace, or a criminal offense of significant gravity, or if you pose a danger to the general public or to the security of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The residence permit is issued for at least one year. It may be renewed.

The residence permit entitles you to engage in gainful employment.

For three years, you are subject to a residency requirement in the federal state to which you were assigned for the asylum proceedings. The residency requirement does not apply or may be waived if you, your spouse, registered domestic partner, or a minor child are in employment subject to social insurance contributions for at least 15 hours per week and earn a minimum income that exceeds the average monthly subsistence level under the Social Code (SGB) (currently 723 euros), or if you have begun or are beginning vocational training or a course of study. Furthermore, the employment must be long-term. This is assumed if your employment is expected to last more than three months.

You are entitled to social benefits. You may receive child benefit, parental allowance, and educational assistance if certain requirements are met.

Family reunification for your spouse and minor child is only possible on the basis of international law or humanitarian grounds, or to safeguard the political interests of the Federal Republic of Germany. The family members themselves must meet the requirements for admission from abroad on the basis of international law or humanitarian grounds.

You are not entitled to participate in an integration course; admission to an integration course is subject to the availability of course spaces.

A settlement permit may be granted to you upon application if you have held a residence permit for five years, can provide for yourself and your family (household) from your own income without relying on public benefits, have paid contributions for at least 30 months into the statutory pension insurance or another pension scheme offering comparable benefits,

your residence does not endanger or impair the interests of the Federal Republic of Germany,

you are permitted to engage in gainful employment and possess all necessary permits for doing so,

have sufficient knowledge of the German language (Level B1),

have a basic understanding of the legal and social system and living conditions in Germany, and

have sufficient living space for yourself and your family.
