Your application for a residence permit in accordance with Section 25, Paragraph 5 of the Residence Act; here: hearing Dear Mr Sarfraz, With a letter dated February 4th, 2020 you apply for a residence permit in accordance with Section 25, Paragraph 5 of the Law on Residence, Employment and Integration of Foreigners in the Federal Territory (Residence Act - AufenthG) of 30. July 2004 (BGBI I p. 1950) in the currently valid version. According to Section 25, Paragraph 5, Clause 1 of the Residence Act, "a foreigner who is enforceably obliged to leave the country can be granted a residence permit if it is impossible for legal or factual reasons to leave the country and if the obstacles to departure are not expected to disappear in the foreseeable future." An exit is impossible for actual reasons if the Federal Republic of Germany cannot be left, if the person wishing to leave would be prevented from crossing the border, for example, or if entry by land, sea or air into the only receiving country is not possible Departure occurs when departure is unreasonable for legal reasons. The concept of impossibility is not to be equated with unreasonable. In principle, you are able to leave the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Federal Republic of Germany does not refuse to allow you to leave the country. It is also possible for you h to enter your home country or another host country by land, sea or air. Thus, there is no actual impossibility of leaving the country. There is a legal impossibility to leave the country if, for legal reasons, it would not be reasonable to expect them to leave the Federal Republic of Germany, if, for example, there would be a significant concrete risk for health reasons within the meaning of Section 60 (7) sentence 3. General adversities, however, which do not result in any obstacles to deportation, are not taken into account. When determining the legal impossibility, basic and human rights positions can be used. However, you do not assert any such reasons or positions. According to Section 25, Paragraph 5, Clause 2 of the Residence Act, a residence permit should be issued "if the deportation has been suspended for 18 months." 5 sentence 1 of the Residence Act only if it is actually or legally impossible to leave the country and the foreigner recognizes this fact in accordance with Section 25 (5) sentences 3 and 4 of the Residence Act
