Germany: Almost 50,000 Migrants Applied for Residence Permit Under New Law in Last 6 Months

Posted date: 12 Jul 2023

The German law that permits migrants holding limited stay permits to apply for residence under facilitated rules has had a positive impact, with a survey revealing that thousands of people applied under German residence law in the last six months.
According to a survey by Integration Media Service, at least 49,000 migrants have submitted an application for a new residence permit since December 31, 2022, when the Opportunity Right of Residency law came into force, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Nonetheless, while the number of applications has been high, data show that only 17,000 of the applications have been approved, and another 2,100 of them have been rejected.
Thousands more applications are still being processed. However, it is taking longer for the authorities to issue a decision due to the high workload.
