Ethnic German repatriates are German people from the successor states of the former Soviet Union and the other former Eastern Bloc states who have established their stay in Germany by means of a special admission procedure.

The admission of persons who, because of their German ethnicity, are still affected by the consequences of the Second World War and its side effects is regulated in the Federal Displaced Persons Act (BVFG).

The ethnic German repatriate status does not arise on the basis of the admission notice, but only with the issuance of a "Spätaussiedlerbescheinigung", which you receive after admission to Germany.

Associated with this status are facilitations for integration into social, cultural and professional life in the Federal Republic of Germany. At the same time, German citizenship is acquired by law.

The certificate must be issued ex officio, which means that you do not have to apply for the certificate to be issued.

Under what circumstances is the residence permit renewed?
