How can i apply for the new 16g

Question

How can I get the new 16g residence permit. What is the procedure to apply it. Whome should i approach

Answer 1

Hi @Ny

You apply for the new permit 16g with your local Ausländerbehörde.

Until this new law for the residence permit 16g was brought in, a person who had a Duldung and found an Ausbildung could only receive the temporary status of 'Ausbildungsduldung'. Now there is the option for such a person to get either the Ausbildungsduldung or the permit 16g. 

The main differences are that to get 16g, a person's identity must be verified (ideally with a passport) and they must be financially secure. If a person is doing a 'duale Ausbildung', they are allowed to access the money from BAB (Berufsausbildungsbeihilfe) in order to finance thie Ausbildung.

Best,

Is it also possible to apply if the case has not been decided? I mean a person with the Aufenthaltgestattung, but currently doing an Ausbildung.
