The German Immigration Act contains many provisions on the entry of foreigners into Germany on international-law, humanitarian or political reasons.

A foreigner may be granted a temporary residence title (Aufenthaltserlaubnis), if the foreigner has been incontestably recognized as being entitled to asylum or incontestably granted refugee status by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge).

The deportation of foreigners to countries where they may face torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment is forbidden under German law. The foreigner may therefore be granted a temporary residence title (Aufenthaltserlaubnis).

The foreigner may be granted a temporary residence title, if other barriers to the deportation of the foreigner exist (e. g. if the departure is impossible because of legal or other factual reasons).

A foreigner living abroad may be granted a temporary residence title to come to Germany, if international law or urgent humanitarian reasons exist and the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (Innenministerium) has declared the admission of the foreigner necessary because of political reasons.

Moreover, a foreigner may be granted a temporary residence title (Aufenthaltserlaubnis), if the competent Supreme Federal State Authority (oberste Landesbehörde) has declared the admission of the foreigner necessary because of international law, humanitarian or political reasons.

Please note that the German Immigration Act generally differentiates between three different kinds of residence titles:

– The German Visa (Visum)

– The German temporary residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis)

– The German permanent residence permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis)
