This often relates to a form of subsidiary protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Existence of other obstacles to deportation:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf departure is impossible for legal or factual reasons, a temporary residence permit can be granted. This includes cases where repatriation is not possible, such as due to the lack of travel documents or other obstacles in the destination country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Humanitarian admission from abroad:<\/strong><br \/>\nA residence permit can be granted to a foreigner for international or urgent humanitarian reasons if the Federal Ministry of the Interior or a designated authority declares admission for political reasons. This often applies to special programs, such as the admission of particularly vulnerable groups from crisis areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay regulations of the federal states:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe top state authority also has the option to order that a residence permit be granted to a foreigner for international or humanitarian reasons or to protect the political interests of the Federal Republic of Germany. These stay regulations are particularly relevant in cases where repatriation is unreasonable or impractical, but no other regulation applies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the mentioned case groups, there are also regulations for hardship cases, where individual humanitarian reasons, such as particularly successful integration or serious personal circumstances, can lead to the granting of a residence permit.
