This is regularly the case with subsequent asylum applicants.<\/p>\n<p>The submission of a subsequent asylum application does not grant permission to stay under \u00a7 55(1) sentence 1 AsylG. However, submitting the subsequent asylum application generally results in the applicant being tolerated under \u00a7 60a AufenthG.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u00a7 60a(2) AufenthG, deportation is prohibited for legal reasons until the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has notified that the subsequent asylum procedure will not be conducted.<\/p>\n<p>If the BAMF indicates that a new procedure will be initiated due to the subsequent asylum application, this may lead to a new residence permit being granted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"II_Antrag_auf_Wiederaufgreifen_des_Verfahrens\"><\/span>Application for Reopening the Procedure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, a reopening of the asylum procedure may also occur independently of a subsequent asylum application.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the BAMF must decide, based on its discretion, whether to change its decision in favor of the person concerned, pursuant to \u00a7 51(5) VwVfG in conjunction with \u00a7\u00a7 48, 49 VwVfG.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of this reopening is that the application can be submitted even after the expiration of the three-month period.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike the subsequent asylum application, the application for reopening the procedure is only possible to establish prohibitions on deportation under \u00a7 60(2), (3), (5), and (7) AufenthG. Recognition as a refugee cannot be achieved through this process.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the conditions of \u00a7 60(2), (3), (5), or (7) AufenthG are met, the BAMF must reopen the procedure as its discretion in this regard is effectively reduced to zero.<\/p>\n<p><b>Important Note: The content of this article has been prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief.
