Residence permit for the asylum procedure
If you have submitted an application for asylum to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, you will receive a residence permit to carry out the asylum procedure.

Description
The residence permit is a document that is issued during the asylum procedure. It certifies that residence in Germany is authorised for the purpose of carrying out the asylum procedure. The residence permit contains personal details and a biometric photograph.
It can be issued and extended for a maximum of 6 months. Conditions and ancillary provisions regarding employment, residence obligations and spatial restrictions are entered in the residence permit. It contains the date of the asylum application and the file number under which the asylum application is being processed at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
The residence permit expires automatically when the BAMF decision has become enforceable.
The Munich Immigration Office is only responsible for issuing or extending the residence permit if you are registered in the city of Munich and the Central Immigration Office of Upper Bavaria has transferred responsibility for you to us.
A reallocation exists if you have received an allocation notice from the government of Upper Bavaria for the state capital of Munich.
A reallocation exists if you have submitted an application for reallocation to the foreigners authority previously responsible for you and your move to Munich has been authorised.

You must first register your main place of residence in Munich with the Citizens' Office.
 You can contact us directly via the contact form to obtain or extend your residence permit. You will then receive an appointment from us.
