Procedure details
Description
Newly arrived asylum seekers are obliged to live in a reception center. If the asylum procedure takes longer, once the obligation to live in a reception center no longer applies, they are generally assigned to a state-run shared accommodation facility.
Asylum seekers in reception centers and shared accommodation as well as those obliged to leave the country are generally looked after by the Central Aliens Authorities until their protection status is recognized or until the stay of rejected asylum seekers who are obliged to leave the country is terminated. However, it is possible for the central foreigners authorities to temporarily transfer responsibility for asylum seekers who are no longer obliged to live in a reception center to the local foreigners authority (district administrative authority).
The competent central or local immigration authority is responsible for all measures required under immigration law, depending on the status of the asylum procedure, e.g. for the
- Extension of residence permits,
- Decision on employment permits,
- Decisions on spatial restrictions on residence,
- Collection of residence permits,
- issuing and collecting tolerated stay permits.
It is also responsible for
- carrying out security checks,
- reporting criminal offenses,
- Alerting persons who have absconded for the purpose of residence investigation or arrest,
- clarifying identity and obtaining home travel documents,
- applying for custody to leave the country or detention pending deportation.
It is also possible to issue deportation orders during the asylum procedure, for example if the asylum seeker is liable to prosecution.
