Does the new law Chancen-Aufenthaltrecht apply for someone with Aufenthaltsgestattung?

Question

Hello, I found some updates on Chancen - Aufenthaltsrechts from 06.07.2022. 

Does it give a chance to people not only on Duldung but also  on Aufenthaltsgesttatung  to Apply under new law with all other requirements? 

Thank you

Dear @Nimnas,

I have looked at the draft version of the law and it specifically states that the Chancen-Aufenthaltrecht is only for people with a Duldung.

Ypou can read this yourself on page 9 of the draft, under § 104c Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht.

As the law is not yet passed, there may be changes made to it. However, I think it unlikely that such a significant change would be made to include thos with an Aufenthaltsgestattung. The law is specifically for individuals who on 01.01.2022 have for several years been living with a Duldung and who are neither going to leave Germany nor have the possiblitiy for any oher current available residence permit.

Best,

Éanna

Hello Eanna,
 Thank you for the response , I read that again and if u can help me clear this it would be so nice.  
As it says in this
(1) Einem geduldeten Ausländer soll abweichend von § 5 Absatz 1 Nummer 1, 1a und 4 sowie § 5 Absatz 2 eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis erteilt werden, wenn er sich am 1. Januar 2022 seit fünf Jahren ununterbrochen geduldet, gestattet oder mit einer Aufent- haltserlaubnis im Bundesgebiet aufgehalten hat und er

Why does it mention geduldet, gestattet oder mit einer Aufent- haltserlaubnis?? Am I getting it wrong?

You're welcome. It means that the person has to have a Duldung on 01.01.2022 and that during the previous 5 years they either had an Aufenthaltsgestattung, Duldung or residence permit.

For example, a person could have been in the asylum procedure (i.e. with an Aufenthaltsgestattung) from 01.01.2015 until 31.12.2019 and after that had a Duldung. This means they would be covered by the law as on 01.01.2022 they would have in the past 5 years been either with an Aufenthaltsgestattung or a Duldung.

Or a person could have had a residence permit, e.g. as a student. When this ended they could not return home and were issued with a Duldung. So this is why it also gives the option of including the time in the past 5 years spent with a residence permit.
