Asylum Law in Germany – Legal Advice for Your Asylum Procedure

What is the asylum procedure?

Anyone seeking protection in Germany from persecution, war, or serious danger can file an asylum application with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). The asylum procedure examines whether recognition as entitled to asylum, as a refugee, or as eligible for subsidiary protection applies. A central part of the process is the personal interview, in which the reasons for fleeing must be explained in detail.

Even small inconsistencies or unclear statements during this interview can be disadvantageous. Early, legally sound preparation significantly increases the chances of success.

Refugee protection and humanitarian residence permits

Besides classic asylum recognition, there are other forms of protection: refugee status under the Geneva Refugee Convention, subsidiary protection, and national deportation bans. Which form of protection applies in an individual case depends on the specific reasons for fleeing and the situation in the country of origin.

Together with you, we assess which legal paths are realistic and help you compile all relevant evidence and documents.

Process, deadlines, and possible legal remedies

After the interview, BAMF decides on the application. In case of rejection, there are usually short deadlines within which a lawsuit can be filed with the administrative court. If this deadline is missed, the decision becomes final – a later correction is then hardly possible.

We keep track of all deadlines, carefully review rejection notices for their chances of success, and represent you in court if needed.
