VGH M\u00fcnchen, Beschluss v. 12.02.2024 \u2013 19 ZB 23.1976<\/p>\n

<\/span>Background of the Case: Permanent Residence Permit and Residence Permit<\/span><\/h3>\n

The plaintiff, a Kenyan national born in 1982, applied for a permanent residence permit, alternatively the extension of his residence permit. After a failed asylum procedure, he initially received a temporary suspension of deportation (Duldung) and later a residence permit to exercise his right of access to his daughter. This residence permit was extended several times, most recently until January 2021. In November 2020, the plaintiff again applied for an extension of the residence permit but only received a certificate of fiction (Fiktionsbescheinigung). In September 2021, the plaintiff submitted another application for a permanent residence permit according to \u00a7 26 (4) of the Residence Act (AufenthG) or for a residence permit under \u00a7 25b of the Residence Act.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Rejection of the Application and Appeal<\/span><\/h3>\n

In May 2023, the defendant rejected the plaintiff\u2019s applications for the extension or issuance of a residence permit and ordered his departure by June 2023. The administrative court dismissed the plaintiff\u2019s lawsuit against this decision in October 2023. The plaintiff then filed an appeal, arguing that the first-instance judgment was erroneous and there were serious doubts about its accuracy.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Reasons for the Rejection of the Permanent Residence Permit<\/span><\/h3>\n

The court clarified that the requirements for the issuance of a permanent residence permit under \u00a7 26 (4) in conjunction with \u00a7 9 (2) of the Residence Act were not met. One of the requirements is that the plaintiff must have held a residence permit for at least five years. Since the plaintiff had not had a valid residence permit since January 2021 and only possessed a certificate of fiction, the required residence duration could not be achieved. The time under the certificate of fiction could not be counted towards the necessary five years, as the application for the extension of the residence permit was rejected.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Special Circumstances in the Case of the Residence Permit<\/span><\/h3>\n

The requested extension of the residence permit was also denied, as there were no legal or factual obstacles to the plaintiff\u2019s departure at the relevant time. In particular, it was determined that the plaintiff did not maintain regular personal contact with his daughter, who turned 18 in November 2023. Therefore, there was no family community within the meaning of Article 6 of the Basic Law (GG) and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) that would have justified the plaintiff\u2019s stay.<\/p>\n

<\/span>No Special Legal Difficulties or Fundamental Importance<\/span><\/h3>\n

The court rejected the appeal as there were neither special legal nor factual difficulties nor any fundamental importance to the case. The Federal Administrative Court\u2019s case law is clear that the relevant time is the date of the oral hearing. As the plaintiff did not have a valid residence permit at that time, there was no entitlement to a permanent residence permit or the extension of the residence permit.<\/p>\n

The entitlement to the granting of a settlement permit is not fulfilled if the required residence permit is no longer available at the relevant time of the oral hearing or the court decision; however, the period of a fictitious effect can be counted towards the period of possession of the residence permit required for the settlement permit if the residence permit is actually extended. It is not sufficient for a settlement permit to be issued if the foreigner was in possession of a residence permit for the required period at any
