After this period, it is generally not possible to continue the stay and apply for a residence permit. This must already be available when entering the Federal Republic of Germany. Only in exceptional cases is it possible to obtain an immediate subsequent residence permit during an ongoing stay in Germany with a Schengen visa. The exceptions and their requirements are described below.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kombination_von_Schengen-Visum_und_Aufenthaltserlaubnis\"><\/span>Combination of Schengen Visa and Residence Permit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anyone staying in Germany with a residence permit must have obtained it before entering the country, as stipulated in \u00a7 6 para. 3 AufenthG. While it is possible to combine a longer-term residence permit with a Schengen visa, such as when individuals with a visa for a longer stay in Germany enter up to 90 days earlier with a Schengen visa, the residence permit must have been issued before entry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Voraussetzungen_fur_die_Beantragung_einer_Aufenthaltserlaubnis_nach_Einreise\"><\/span>Conditions for Applying for a Residence Permit After Entry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Under \u00a7 39 sentence 1 no. 3 AufenthV, it is exceptionally permissible to apply for a long-term residence permit even after entering with a Schengen visa. The purpose of this provision is to simplify the procedure when all conditions for issuing a residence permit are already met.<\/p>\n<p>The following conditions must be met cumulatively:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Legal Entitlement: The applicant must have a legal entitlement to the issuance of a residence permit under the Residence Act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Post-Entry Entitlement: This entitlement must have arisen only after entering Germany. The qualifying conditions must not have existed before entry. It is crucial that the entitlement arises after entry into Germany, not just another Schengen country. For example, in a decision by the Higher Administrative Court of Hesse on September 22, 2008 (1 B 1628\/08), the court ruled that an applicant who entered France with a Schengen visa and later married a German citizen in Denmark before entering Germany could not apply for a residence permit, as the marriage occurred before entry into Germany. This rule aims to prevent misuse by ensuring that all conditions arise only after entry into Germany.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>General Conditions: The general conditions for issuing a residence permit under \u00a7 5 para. 1 sentence 1 AufenthG must be met. This includes securing the applicant\u2019s livelihood, clarifying their identity and nationality, and fulfilling the passport requirement under \u00a7 3 AufenthG. Additionally, there must be no interest in deportation, and the applicant\u2019s stay must not harm or endanger the interests of the Federal Republic of Germany. The specific conditions of \u00a7 5 para. 2 AufenthG do not need to be met under the exception of \u00a7 39 sentence 1 no. 3 AufenthV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Validity of Schengen Visa: The Schengen visa with which the applicant entered Germany must still be valid when applying for the residence permit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A claim for a residence permit under \u00a7 39 sentence 1 no. 3 AufenthV might exist if, for example, the applicant\u2019s child is born in Germany after entry, and the child holds German citizenship. However, no claim exists if the applicant plans from the outset to remain in Germany for economic or professional reasons, as this would not align with the intent of the provision.<\/p>\n<p>If a residence permit cannot be issued immediately following a Schengen visa, the applicant may need to leave Germany temporarily until the residence permit is granted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Note: The content of this article has been prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief.
